Any thoughts on using context receivers in libraries implementations (not public API)? Is it safe to do or is there the possibility it will break in future releases?

Not a confident answer, but it looks like there's no runtime/stdlib aspect that could potentially break in future kotlin versions, and it's strictly _just_ extra parameters. Which should be fine.

But I have no clue if extra metadata would leak out (like if you have a public class with a private `context` method, would the class's <https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-metadata/index.html|@Metadata> annotation leak any context receiver info that could potentially confuse a future library compilation? You could probably see how the metadata changes when you add/remove context from a private method to see if this is even a concern :man-shrugging:
