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&lt;KSAnnotation&gt;`

`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
