Are there are drawback to the `currentCoroutineContext()` function?
I want to cancel my listener when my coroutine is no longer active. I don’t have access to the scope, but I can use `currentCoroutineContext()` since i’m inside a suspend function. Could this have any negative impact? Like memory leak or a false-positive?
```private suspend fun doEffects(colorChangeCallback: OnColorChangedCallback, valueAnimator: ValueAnimator) {
    val context: CoroutineContext = currentCoroutineContext()
    valueAnimator.addUpdateListener {
        if (context.isActive) {
            // Do your work
        } else {
            // Cancel other work
            valueAnimator.cancel()
        }
    }
}```


See this thread from yesterday: <https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C1CFAFJSK/p1652964299132039>
If you're outside of a coroutine (for example, if you call your function from `suspend fun main`), `currentCoroutineContext` will be empty.

Why not use `suspendCancellableCoroutine` and `invokeOnCancellation`?
