A comment on Kotlin Money.

My complaint is, bit too much infix :( What about 50.btc 25.usd Keeps it inline with the time API as well with 20.seconds and what not.

Thanks for commenting! I'm still learning Kotlin and I overlooked the usage of get() with vals. This will be the next syntactic sugar into the mix. I think it makes sense.

When I was designing the API, I created methods like toUSD() and toEUR(). But with 306+ circulating/tender currencies and 2000+ cryptocurrencies, I thought it could lead to a bad experience when using code completion.
