if i have a method that takes a kproperty1 for one specific class, why does the kotlin compiler not allow to omit the class name when calling it?

data class Recipe(val id: Long?, val name: String, val description: String?) {
    companion object {
        fun find(field: KProperty1<Recipe, *>) {}
    }
}

this works:

Recipe.find(field = Recipe::id)

and this is red:

Recipe.find(field = ::id)

or somehow related the same for functions.

listOf("aaa", "bbb").map(String::toLowerCase)
