Replace kotlin.reflect with kotlinx.reflect.lite

What are the benefits of using that library?

I'm interested in contributing to this issue, and I've been playing around with it, but I don't see any benefit.

I think it will reduces the performance degradation of Kotlin reflection.

I've been playing around with it, but I don't see any benefit.

If so, we do not need to replace kotlin.reflect with kotlinx.reflect.lite.

Have you done the benchmark?

[this-is-spear]

No, it didn't.

I went into the body link and found the kotlinx.metadata library. I wondered if this was intended to add hints at compile time.

I searched for the keyword kotlinx.reflect.lite and it seems to have a performance degrading meaning.
