I'm really confused: I thought that _context receivers_ are available in JVM code only but I accidentally(* :slightly_smiling_face:) compiled the following function in my Kotlin/JS project:
```context(SelectorsScope)
infix fun CSSSelector.child(selector: CSSSelector): CSSSelector = child(this, selector)```
And it works!
Are _context receivers_ allowed on platforms other than JVM in Kotlin 1.9.22?

* I was just experimenting how the `SelectorsScope.child()`  function could be made more comfortable with _context receivers_

Context receivers should be multiplatform. IIRC I did use them in Native, for example.

Even the related issue is still open: <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-57584/Allow-Context-Receivers-on-non-JVM-modules>

I tried native a few weeks ago and they did not work, only JVM worked

It seems to work even in common code, although editor support is sometimes misbehaving.
For example one of my JVM unit tests (using context receivers from a library's common code) compiles and executes as expected but the editor still displays an error:

Not sure what to say guys, it looks like shouldn't be multiplatform, but I definitely remember compiling on mingwX64

I have asked it in the <#C7L3JB43G|compiler> group (sorry for the "cross-post"): <https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C7L3JB43G/p1706689232765499>

What I have learnt is _context receivers_ will be removed in favor of _<https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/context-parameters/proposals/context-parameters.md|context parameters>_ :open_mouth:

I tried on macosArm and linuxArm and they were not working (was porting code from JVM that was already using them)

Of course the target shouldn't affect the ability to use them since they're implemented way before any target stuff applies
