How get javaclass from java type array in Kotlin?

Question

For pojo classes:

//java
MyClass.getClass();
//kotlin
MyClass::class.java

But how getClass from array?

//java
MyClass[].class;
//kotlin
???

MyClass[]::class.java - does not work :(

Java syntax would actually be .class, not .getClass()

It's simple:

Array<String>::class.java
// on objects 
args.javaClass

Arrays in Kotlin don't look as MyClass[], this is Java. Always use Array class with generic types. For primitives there are specialized versions like IntArray.

This works but won't if List is used instead of Array.
