I've a question on `KClass.memberProperties` - the docs say I get a `Collection&lt;KProperty1&lt;T, *&gt;&gt;`, but when I iterate this, the compiler infers `KProperty1&lt;out T, Any?&gt;`, which prevents me from calling `it.get(this)` on it. Anybody know why?

If you're calling `memberProperties` on a `::class` literal, then it's a known problem: <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-16432>

The workaround is to cast `A::class` to `KClass&lt;A&gt;` manually :(

Yeah, I'm coming from `this::class` (which feels weird). Hmm, first time I see that `out` can be part of the type.

For the getter call, `it.getter.call(this)` _does_ work. But both fail because I'm trying to access a private val. :disappointed:

Note that even though you're getting the properties of this class, it could be a subclass at runtime, and invoking a subclass property passing the base class will fail. Of course it's not relevant for final classes at all, which is what we should probably do in KT-16432 to relax this restriction

To access a private val, you should make it accessible with `isAccessible = true` (which is subject to SecurityManager checks)

Yes, the class in question is a `data class` anyway
