the deprecated function with the 'not' signature ...

the deprecated function with the 'not' signature is a great idea
though I failed to give full context and unfortunately I need it for a generic of a generic

full context:

I'm trying to create a Kotlin property backed by a BehaviourRelay (an Rx observable object) and want to ensure obvious mutables aren't used

class BehaviorRelayUpdateOnlyProperty<T>(relay: BehaviorRelay<T>) : BehaviorRelayProperty<T>(relay)

I wanted to prevent T from extending MutableCollection - but with your solution the new constructor shares the same JVM signature as the original

constructor(mutablePropertyRelay: BehaviorRelay<MutableCollection<*>>) : this(mutablePropertyRelay) isn't accepted

Maybe work around that with factories and @JvmName? In the end I think this really should be a lint check instead.
