@groostav Why do you need it? Do you need the context?

I have no concrete problem, I'm just wondering how to write compossible code with access to that object. Given that I want to call a private suspend fun from a suspend CoroutineScope.() -> Unit block, what would be the most idiomatic way to pass that implicit CoroutineScope object into my private function?

Maybe if, for example, my private suspend fun had a hot-loop for use with a coroutine, and I wanted to structure that loop as while(isActive) { doHotThing() }, whats the nicest way to do that.

My first thought would be to simply take a Job CoroutineScope as a parameter, but then the caller must pass this@lambda as an argument to fill that parameter --or, of course, to structure the private fun as an extension method itself.

My second thought was some kind of CoroutineLocal that's updated by each coroutine initializer, but that's antithetical to the idea of "millions of fibres".

I cant help but feel like the concept of this pseudo-static baggage Job and CoroutineScope and etc doesn't have a particularly elegant solution yet.
