What is the benefit of having local delegated properties listed in @Metadata?

[udalov]

This is the only way for Kotlin reflection to make sense of the property represented by a KProperty object that needs to be passed to a delegate's `getValue`/`setValue`. Since the property is local, its signature is stored in the metadata of the containing class/file, where reflection loads it and constructs the correct KProperty instance.

And since kotlinx-metadata-jvm provides the full read/write access to the metadata, it ended up here too

Good to know, thank you!
