Not necessarily a Ktor question, but I'm getting an error that suspend function can only be called from a coroutine when I try using Arrow's Either.fold inside of `post {...}`:

fun Route.doTheThing(client: Client) {
  post() {
    Either.catchOrThrow<Exception, DoTheThingRequestBody> {
        call.receive<DoTheThingRequestBody>()
      }
      .fold(
        { call.respond(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, "Invalid email") },
        {
          val response = client.doThing(it.email)
          call.respondText(response.bodyAsText(), ContentType.Application.Json, response.status)
        }
      )
  }
}

Compiler doesn't like the call.Respond... calls. Do I need to somehow use an explicit receiver to disambiguate? Can't seem to figure this out :|

The compilator is able to compile the following code:

data class DoTheThingRequestBody(val x: Int)

fun Route.doTheThing(client: HttpClient) {
    post {
        Either.catchOrThrow<Exception, DoTheThingRequestBody> {
            call.receive<DoTheThingRequestBody>()
        }
            .fold(
                { call.respond(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, "Invalid email") },
                {
                    val response = client.get("")
                    call.respondText(response.bodyAsText(), ContentType.Application.Json, response.status)
                }
            )
    }
}
