Hey there, is there a public API to discover the kind (CLASS, FILE_FACADE, …) of a Kotlin class?

[udalov]

The most stable way to check if a class is a regular Kotlin class (CLASS) would be to load the @kotlin.Metadata annotation on it, and check if the value of its k field is 1. This will not break in foreseeable future, because even the Kotlin compiler relies on it since 1.0. See kdoc on Metadata.k for more information
