Anyone know why you can’t have bounds on type alias parameters? I was trying to do this:
typealias Fact<T : Any> = Pair<FactName, T>
in order to ensure that you can’t put null in it, but no dice.

I think they introduced <T & Any> in 1.6.0 preview for this use case, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-26245

T & Any wouldn't matter here because typealias Fact<T & Any> is not valid kotlin. T & Any is a type just like MutableList<T> is.
