I'm working with KotlinPoet and I'm wondering if a lambda with receiver was ever considered to make beginControlFlow() / endControlFlow() chains more readable?

.controlFlow(".let") {
    add("%T.fromNativeValue(it)", returnTypeInfo.kotlinTypeName)
}

Although the trailing lambda will interfere with the varargs arguments and would need some additional wrapping in a function or CodeBlock.Builder

[Zac Sweers]

it's trivial to write your own extension

[Zac Sweers]

kotlinpoet focuses on making the building blocks good

[vbsteven]

yes indeed, and that might be what we're doing. I was just wondering if that was considered, and if there are maybe reasons why I shouldn't.

Trailing lambdas can come after varargs, that's not necessarily an issue
