Is it recommended to write contracts for my functions?
I want to have this function

inline fun measureTimeMillisWithContract(block: () -> Unit): Long {
    contract {
        callsInPlace(block, EXACTLY_ONCE)
    }
    val start = System.currentTimeMillis()
    block()
    return System.currentTimeMillis() - start
}

but as it requires me to add the @ExperimentalContracts annotation, I don't really feel good to use contracts.

it is weird the built-in measureTimeMillis doesn't have this already

I found an issue for it on youtrack, they didn't want to change it for compatability policy. But I think it's in Kotlin 1.4
