If I define a function outside a class and want to access it with reflection, under which 'class' do I find it?

I think it's just a static function in a anomalous class someplace.

it's not associated w/ the class it's extending, at least not from a reflection POV

I think you'd have to search all static function that take the class you extended as the first param.

unless overridden with `@file:JvmName`, top-level functions and properties are compiled into a class named after the filename plus "kt", see <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/java-to-kotlin-interop.html#package-level-functions|https://kotlinlang.org/docs/java-to-kotlin-interop.html#package-level-functions>
