very very dumb question. I have a `csvReader.open(file) { ... }`  function from a library. The problem is the lambda is not suspend-aware. Is there any way to call a suspend fn in the lambda there other than calling runBlocking? FWIW, this is all inside a suspending function, so I do not want to do `runBlocking` inside a `suspend` function. It just feels so wrong.

so to be clear, your the containing function has `suspend`, the `open` function callback is _not_ `suspend`, and you want to be able to call other `suspend` methods from inside the callback?

Why do you want to suspend while reading a file from a blocking reader API?

I was using the library wrong, I just realized I can readAsSequence inside the open lambda, get the sequence out, and process it as I want in the suspending context out of the blocking callback to open. Thanks <@UJBKXD0HH>!

Actually that won't work because the stream is closed outside the lambda, and reading from sequence fails. Oh well. I found we have the author and a (small) community  hanging around in <#CMAL3470A|>, moving this there
