03/17/2019, 9:45 AMI am wondering why in Kotlin JS reflection qualifiedName is not available. It is easy to parse kjsm files and get whatever meta information is needed, but you are not able to match it to objects because only simpleName is available in KClass. I am trying to leverage meta information to make https://mockk.io work for JS platform. Are there any objections to add qualifiedName now? I will do PR
