Why public inline functions are called by private constructors

Question

I have a private constructor for my class and implemented invoke on a companion object for a kind of "generic constructor"

class Test private constructor(className: String) {
    companion object {
        // If I remove the internal it fails 
        internal inline operator fun <reified T> invoke(): Test {
            return Test(T::class.java.name) // why can I even call it? The constructor is private
        }
    }
}

and I can even have a public built-in function that calls this common constructor

public inline fun test() = Test<Any>() // Why can I call it, it is internal

doesn't mean that every invokation test()expands to Test(Any::class.java.name), although this constructor is private?

So my questions are:

• Why internal inline funcan this one call a private constructor? (public pleasure could not)
• Why does this function public inline funcall an internal function?
• And why can I end up opening a private constructor in public inline fun?
