I'm trying to access the 
TestScope
from KotlinX.Coroutines.test (e.g. to have access to the 
backgroundScope
). According to https://kotest.io/docs/framework/coroutines/test-coroutine-dispatcher.html, adding 
.config(coroutineTestScope = true)
should be enough to enable it, but I'm not sure how to access it. The only 
CoroutineScope
I see is the 
ContainerScope
provided in the test, and it doesn't look like it provides those accessors.

You can use the extension value 
testCoroutineScheduler

That's only the scheduler. I also want the foreground and background scopes.
The option 
testScheduler
was renamed to 
coroutineTestScope
, so I assume the scope is available somehow?
If I'm reading this correctly, it is instantiated in 
TestCoroutineInterceptor.kt:27
but never stored/passed to anything else, so it is just lost 😕
It looks like it's added to the coroutine context as 
TestScopeContainer
, but it never reaches the coroutine context of the test for some reason. Even if it did, it doesn't look like 
io.kotest.core.coroutines.TestScopeContainer
is available externally? Context of a test in StringSpec: 
[RunningInRunTest, kotlinx.coroutines.test.TestCoroutineScheduler@2b4738b0, kotlinx.coroutines.test.CoroutineExceptionHandler$1@2b569700, TestScope[test started], StandardTestDispatcher[scheduler=kotlinx.coroutines.test.TestCoroutineScheduler@2b4738b0]]
