Someone is confused here. Is it IntelliJ or the compiler? Kotlin 1.6.21

I guess the compiler isn’t yet sure it’s going to be a list of `String` in the middle of the builder block, because I may add some other type later?

When I do
```val l = buildList {
    add("Hello")
    val s = get(0)
    s.
}```
with the caret after the dot, IntelliJ suggests to insert `length` but then says unresolved reference.
It does think the type of `s` is `String`

soundds like <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-43710>

But I wonder why the compiler can’t infer the type. Is it because it processes the block statement-by-statement?

`@BuilderInference` limitation. it only analyzes the type of the lambda after it has been processed
