Is there currently a way to define sealed class inheritors in multiple files? They're getting a bit too big for a single file.

[Shawn]

some folks have recommended some magic combination of annotations including @JvmMultifileClass but I’ve never gotten that to work

[karelpeeters]

@Ruckus I've read those docs, It's just that I remember hearing something like what @Shawn is saying.

[Ruckus]

Interesting. I don't recall hearing anything like that. I'll have to look into it later when I get a spare moment.

[karelpeeters]

Hmm, just putting the standard

@file:JvmName("Test")
@file:JvmMultifileClass

in both files doesn't do it.

[Shawn]

I think it’s a bit of a wild goose chase - nobody who’s ever claimed you can split a sealed class across multiple files has actually presented a working example, at least to my knowledge

How big is 'too big'?

[karelpeeters]

~200 lines each

It's not terrible, it would just be neater if they were separated into multiple files.
