A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I’m struggling a bit to understand `onSubscribe` of `SharedFlow` as it relates to `onStart` of `Flow`. First question would be, is there a scenario where `onStart` gets called only once and then `onSubscribe` is called for each new subscriber and/or re-subscriber? See :thread: for more details. Any help would be appreciated.

In my attempts to put together a contrived example - which has not been easy, so perhaps I’m doing it poorly/incorrectly - I seem to always see both `onSubscribe` and `onStart` get called. The wording led me to expect that `onStart` would only get called once, when the first subscriber started collecting.

Second question would be, am I correct in understanding that `onSubscribe` can get called without `onStart` getting called (yet)? If so, what does that look like? How do I write some code where I only subscribe and don’t call a collecting method?
