Why `kotlin.io.AccessDeniedException` isn’t a alias of `java.nio.AccessDeniedException` on JVM? Why creating such a new class that might confused the user that tries to catch this exception?

only reason I can think of is multiplatform

I’m calling Java’s file IO (AFAIK kotlin has no own file IO except some extension methods of Java’s type), which throws `java.nio.AccessDeniedException` . I wrongly catch `kotlin.io.AccessDeniedException` and realizes it doesn’t work and it’s not an alias (as other kotlin standard types are). Not a big deal but it’s confusing.

As I did more research I found `kotlin.io.AccessDeniedException` seems to be ~not used in Kotlin standard library so I’m quite confused about its existence~ only used in `FileTreeWalk` .

but yeah I can see how that'd be confusing
