I have a ktor application with routes/controllers and stuff. Now I also need a separate component which should, on startup, subscribe to a Google PubSub topic and at shutdown, unsubscribe. It also has dependencies and so it needs to have `KoinComponent`s injected. Since nobody is depending directly on this component, it's not getting created by Koin at all. What would be the idiomatic way of solving this use case in Ktor?

Have a solution now. The subscriber class is a `KoinComponent` with its dependencies injected. Inside our application set up `fun Application.module(...)` I initiate the component like so:
```val subscriber: MySubscriber by inject()
subscriber.initiate(environment)```
This in turn uses the `environment` to add hooks for `ApplicationStarted` and `ApplicationStopped`. Seems to work as expected. Is this a decent solution?
