Does anyone know why

KSType

does not extend

KSAnnotated

?

It makes it difficult to handle without a single interface to represent things that have annotations

They both have

val annotations: Sequence<KSAnnotation>

KSAnnotated

is a subtype of

KSNode

while

KSType

is not.

I’m aware of that, however my suggestion is that it would be useful to have a contract for just “something that has annotations”

I see your point, changing class structure might be breaking for binary compatibilities. Generally, annotations on `type`s are considered different from annotations on symbols, in most of the time it should be sufficient to read annotations from

KSTypeReference

directly, are you processing annotations on actual types rather than the type reference?

yeah this was my thought as well - this seems like something for KSTypeReference
