The Kotlin compiler represents types like List<out CharSequence> internally as List<CharSequence> due to the fact that List's type parameter is covariant, and similarly Comparable<in CharSequence> where Comparable's type parameter is contravariant. However it restores use-site variance when emitting class files, so we must do the same thing for compatability with Java code. Note this is a partial solution because it will also add wildcards to Java .class files that *could* have a variance / wildcard but don't -- for example, a Java method could really take an invariant Comparable<CharSequence>, which is only achievable in Kotlin via the @JvmSuppressWildcards annotation. We also don't yet support @JvmSuppressWildcards given on a surrounding class or function.
