Is there any neat way of doing

private val _title = BehaviorRelay.create<String>()
    val title: Observable<String> = _title

without the backing property?

[hudsonb]

You're trying to expose title as a Observable<String> rather than a BehaviorRelay<String> but still want access to it within the class as BehaviorRelay<String> ya? Nope thats how I do it

[pawel.urban]

Yes, this is exactly what I want.

No better way currently, there's a related KEEP though: https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/pull/122

The private backing property should be optimized away (no getters or setters), and if you change the public accessor to val title: Observable<String> get() = _title it won't creating a backing field, so it should be just as "optimized" as clean Java.
