I want to load a resource in a top level function using Class.getResourceAsStream().
Is there any way to get a reference to the class that the top level function will be compiled into so that I can write, for example
val myThing = readFromStream(MYCLASS.getResourceAsStream(...))

Another way I found is to declare a local class or an anonymous object inside a top level function and to get its enclosingClass:
val topLevelClass = object{}.javaClass.enclosingClass
Note: to work, this declaration should be placed on top level or inside a top-level function.
Then you can use the topLevelClass as a Class<out Any>:
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
println(topLevelClass) // class MyFileNameKt
}
