How can I get the name of a Kotlin property?

I have the following function to access a property's delegate. It uses Kotlin reflection to get a property's name and Java reflection to get the field.

fun Any.getDelegate<T>(prop: KProperty<T>): Any {
    return javaClass.getDeclaredField("${prop.name}\$delegate").let {
        it.setAccessible(true)
        it.get(this)
    }
}

The method is used like this:

val delegate = a.getDelegate(A::b)

However, I would prefer to use it like this:

val delegate = a.b.delegate

The problem with the code above is getting the property name of a.b and getting the instance a from a.b. From what I know about Kotlin, this is probably not possible, however I'd like to see if I can clean up my function at all.

To give a bigger picture of what I'm trying do here's my complete code. I want an observable delegate to which I can add and remove observers using the delegate reference and without creating addition variables.

fun Any.addObservable<T>(prop: KProperty<T>, observer: (T) -> Unit) {
    getObservableProperty(prop).observers.add(observer)
}

fun Any.getObservableProperty<T>(prop: KProperty<T>): ObservableProperty<T> {
    return getDelegate(prop) as ObservableProperty<T>
}

fun Any.getDelegate<T>(prop: KProperty<T>): Any {
    return javaClass.getDeclaredField("${prop.name}\$delegate").let {
        it.setAccessible(true)
        it.get(this)
    }
}

class ObservableProperty<T>(
        initialValue: T,
        initialObservers: Array<(T) -> Unit> = emptyArray()) : ReadWriteProperty<Any?, T> {

    private var value = initialValue

    public val observers: MutableSet<(T) -> Unit> = initialObservers.toHashSet()

    public override fun get(thisRef: Any?, desc: PropertyMetadata): T {
        return value
    }

    public override fun set(thisRef: Any?, desc: PropertyMetadata, value: T) {
        this.value = value
        observers.forEach { it(value) }
    }
}

class A() {
    var b by ObservableProperty(0)
}

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val a = A()

    a.addObservable(A::b) {
        println("b is now $it")
    }

    a.b = 1
    a.b = 2
    a.b = 3
}
