-     * - testKotlinProjectWithEnabledNewInferenceInIDE checks that project is compiled when new inference is enabled only in IDE
-     *   - this is done via project component
-     * - testKotlinProjectWithErrorsBecauseOfNewInference checks that project isn't compiled when new inference is enabled in the compiler
