We now provide a KProperty extension leveraging KProperty references to express a property path. Using Kotlin property references (such as Author::name that translates to `book` or Book::author / Author.name translating to `book.author`) is refactoring-safe as the property expressions are part of the Kotlin language. We render KPropertyPath using the same semantics as our PropertyPath so that store-specific modules can leverage either property paths or accept KProperty directly.
In contrast to the previous implementation, KPropertyPath is private and the rendering function was renamed to toDotPath to align with PropertyPath.toDotPath.
