The closure as parameter behind the default parameter in Kotlin

Question

I have a function

fun <T> get(path: String, params: MutableMap<String, Any>? = null, headers: MutableMap<String, String>? = null, resolver: ResponseResolver<T>): HttpRequest<T>

which ResponseResolver is a type alias

typealias ResponseResolver<T> = (HttpResponse) -> T

When i invoke the get method like below:

get("/somePath", mutableMapOf("key" to "value")){ httpResponse -> ......some code(Last line is a List<SomeClass>)

Then the Intellij tells me that

Type inference failed: 

fun <T> get
(
path: String,
params: MutableMap<String, Any>? = ...,
headers: MutableMap<String, String>? = ...,
resolver: ResponseResolver<T> /* = (HttpResponse) → T */
)
: HttpRequest<T>

cannot be applied to
(
String,
MutableMap<String, Any>,
(HttpResponse) → List<SomeClass>
)

I'm not sure if there is any strictions in applying the closure as the argument of some functions with default parameters.

Kotlin don't know exactly what mutableMapOf("key" to "value") is.

Clarify whether it's params or headers

get("/somePath", headers = mutableMapOf("key" to "value")){ httpResponse -> ......some code(Last line is a List<SomeClass>)

or

get("/somePath", mutableMapOf<String, Any>("key" to "value")){ httpResponse -> ......some code(Last line is a List<SomeClass>)
