Can anyone share their goto approach for Intent dispatching using Kotlin?  I've seen Context Extensions for instance `Context.startParticularScreen(intentParams)` but that seems wrong given it's an extension on such a global object

For activities specifically, <https://medium.com/@passsy/starting-activities-with-kotlin-my-journey-8b7307f1e460> compares a couple different ideas with varying levels of cleverness. I tend toward a variation of the `newIntent()` strategy that starts the new activity right inside the function, kind of like:
```
companion object {
        private val SOME_PARAMETER = "user_id"

        fun start(activity: Activity, param: Param) {
            val intent = Intent(activity, SomeActivity::class.java)
            intent.putExtra(SOME_PARAMETER, param)
            activity.startActivity(intent)
        }
    }
```
which makes the call site look like:
```
SomeActivity.start(this, param)
```

Would love to hear what other people are doing too!
