This probably was discussed before, but as a first-time arrow-optics user (it's great, thanks!), I wish adding @optics would automatically generate companion object if it's missing.

I'm almost sure that this wasn't done because of some KSP/kotlin plugin API limitation, but maybe there's an issue I can vote on for Kotlin team to make this possible some day?

Hey @dimsuz,

This is indeed a limitation of KAPT/KSP and we cannot automatically add the companion object 😞

"Soon" when Kotlin Compiler API becomes stable we can move away from KSP, and write a compiler plugin that removes this requirement of manually adding companion object.

Hah, got it! 👍
