Hi, is it a problem to have a package contain the word internal?  ex: `com.company.internal.feature` ?

It shouldn’t be a problem, I’ve got a library published where <https://github.com/copper-leaf/ballast/tree/main/ballast-core/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/copperleaf/ballast/internal|I’m doing this> and it’s not causing any issues.

The Kotlin documentation states that `internal` is a “Modifier Keyword”, which “acts as keywords in modifier lists of declarations, and they can be used as identifiers in other contexts” (<https://kotlinlang.org/docs/keyword-reference.html#modifier-keywords|source>)

i don't see an issue either but I wanted to be sure. glad someone else is doing it. thanks!

Even the stdlib uses it as a package name for some of its internal annotations <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/libraries/stdlib/src/kotlin/internal/Annotations.kt|https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/libraries/stdlib/src/kotlin/internal/Annotations.kt>

note that you should avoid Java keywords if you want to be able to use the library from Java or run KAPT
