Did someone try the new type inference? Did you encounter issues or is it stable?

Failed in a relatively simple case:

val progressView: View?
init {
    progressView = if (progressViewId != View.NO_ID) ViewCompat.requireViewById(rootView, progressViewId) else null
}

if (progressViewId != -1) {
    ViewCompat.requireViewById(rootView, progressViewId); // ??
    throw null;
} else {
    this.progressView = (View)null;
}
