I'm trying to implement a custom property delegate, but the compiler complains that it doesn't have a `getValue(receiver, property)` method. While that's true, I only have a `var value: Boolean`, I've looked into the source code for Lazy an it also only has a `var value: T`. Why can't I do it like this in my custom class?

`Lazy.getValue()` is defined as an extension function

It would be convenient if there was an alternative syntax/signature for delegates where thisRef and property are redundant parameters (i.e. all delegates that are constructed in the `by` clause)

Or at least those parameters could then be passed to the constructor, if the delegate does require them
