I have a question regarding the public modifier in Kotlin. Since everything is already public by default, is there a use case where you actually need to "force" put that modifier? Basically, at the moment I cannot think of such case, when you need a public modifier in front of something.

Explicit API mode is one case: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/whatsnew14.html#explicit-api-mode-for-library-authors

That was pretty cool, I didn't know that. Thank you

Also if you want to widen the visibility of an inherited function or property.
