A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

hello, it seems that the lateinit isInitialized can only be called from inside the class, is it a bug or something?
```
class AClass {
    lateinit var aLateInit: String

    fun isInit() = this::aLateInit.isInitialized // OK
}

val obj1 = AClass()
val isInit = obj1::aLateInit.isInitialized // Not Compile
```

is that a compiler/language special case?  doesn’t seem to be anything in the source for lazy about that.

I think if the property `aLateInit` is public, it should be able to check its initialization state publicly

You can always declare a separate public property for that if that is you intent. 

yes, in fact the `fun isInit()` above is ok for my intent. I'm just a bit curious about the design decision to prohibit the direct access in the first place.
