Hey Kotlin community. Could anyone help me understand why x::class produces KClass<out T> instead of just KClass<T> in the following snippet?

class Test<T : Any>(val x: T) {
  fun type(): KClass<T> = x::class // doesn't compile bc types don't match!
}

And a follow-up question, is there any way to make this compile without having to cast the result of x::class to KClass<T>?

It is because x can be any type that is T or inherits T.
