The Android build pipeline can extract embedded proguard configurations
from dependencies and merge them automatically. This adds a conservative
proguard configuration to the kotlin-reflect JVM artifact in support of
that. This focuses mostly on just retaining what's necessary for
kotlin-reflect's own functionality to operate, but could be expanded if
community feedback discovers other good candidate rules.
With this in place - most Android projects using R8 or Proguard should
Just Work™️ with kotlin-reflect.
