Is there a Kotlin equivalent of javax.tools.JavaCompiler?

1

I’m writing a code generator and it might evolve in the direction of hot-swapping code in the JVM. Writing it in Java would let me do that by invoking the compiler programattically. Is there a way to do that with kotlinc that doesn’t involve creating temporary files and/or shelling out?
