Feature Request: Typealias for expected Types

Thanks for your reply.
However, your example is not working.
Uri and NSURL are too different. Uri has an private constructor and is constructed by a static factory method. NSURL has several overloaded constructors so i need to call at least one of them.

expect class

commonMain

// has a public no argument constructor 
// is instantiable by primary constructor  
expect class CommonUrl

androidMain

// is not working, because there is no public constructor
// is not instantiable or only instatiable by static factory method
// Error: Actual typealias 'CommonUrl' has no corresponding expected declaration
// The following declaration is incompatible because modality is different
actual typealias CommonUrl = Uri

iosMain

// is not working, because there is no no-arg constructor which could be called
// Error: Conflicting overloads
actual typealias CommonUrl = NSURL

expect interface

commonMain

expect interface CommonUrl()

androidMain

// Error: Actual typealias 'CommonUrl' has no corresponding expected declaration 
// The following declaration is incompatible because class kinds are different (class, interface, object, enum, annotation)
actual typealias CommonUrl = Uri

iosMain

// Error: Conflicting overloads
actual typealias CommonUrl = NSURL
