There's this reified function that I'm calling... Is it possible to generically call it?

inline fun <reified T : Any> MongoCollection<T>.replaceOne(
    replacement: T,
    options: ReplaceOptions = ReplaceOptions()
): UpdateResult = replaceOneById(KMongoUtil.extractId(replacement, T::class), replacement, options)

I want to create a wrapper around it like so :

inline fun <reified T : Any> insertOrReplaceOne(document: T) {
        collection.replaceOneById
    }

Collection is of type MongoCollection<T> ... but the extension function fails to be applicable for some reason (this is a function in a parameterized class if it matters (same type T)) aka

abstract class BaseMongoPlatformRepository<T : Any> { }

ah that sucks 😞 ... I was able to have my function accept a KClass and work around this limitation
