Is there any way I can make this work so that anyone accessing name on B gets a String instead of String? ?

open class A(val name: String?)
class B(name: String) : A(name)
fun findName(b: B): String = b.name // errors because `b.name` is `String?`

open class A(open val name: String?)
class B(override val name: String) : A(name)

That seems to work
