is there a way to get a java::class for nullable types for annotation checking?

__class_java.kt

In the first one, you're not actually getting the class of type T, you're getting the class of the value that currently happens to be stored in value.

[karelpeeters]

And that concept doesn't make sense for the second one, what do you do when value == null?

[karelpeeters]

Maybe what you actually want is a Class<T> constructor parameter? You can make it a bit nicer to call with a reified factory function.

::value.returnType would be whatever type value is declared as in the source. In this case that would be T, with returnType.jvmErasure you can find the closest approximation that's known for T at runtime, in this case Any::class
