maybe this is a dumb question: can i create an instance of a private inner class from the outer class? i'm getting a runtime error about `java.lang.VerifyError: Call to wrong &lt;init&gt; method`

my setup looks roughly like this:```
abstract class MapEventKeyFilterHandler&lt;T, U {
    private val mapEventHandler: MapEventHandler&lt;T, U&gt; by lazy {
        this.MapHandler()
    }
    private inner class MapHandler : MapEventHandler&lt;T, U&gt; {
...
```

i've been playing around with different ways of instantiating `mapEventHandler`, thinking perhaps assigning it directly was having issues, but the error has been the same

i'm trying to implement an adapter of sorts: this abstract class bridges one interface (implemented by the inner class) to an interface it defines.  i didn't want the top-level abstract class to implement the "from" interface (`MapEventHandler` in this case) as i want the user of it to only see the "to" interface it defines (via the abstract methods)

ok, it looks like this isn't a fundamental issue, but something that's being hit when running unit tests when it tries to call `Class.forName`
