Supposing I have a Flow<T> what would be the most idiomatic way to to the following:

someFlow.collect { v ->
  process(v)
  if (isVeryFirstItem) {
    someSharedFlow.emit("received first item")
  }
}

I.e. I want to do a side-effect only once after receiving the first emission. I could make isVeryFirstFirstItem some kind of a volatile or AtomicBoolean, but somehow I don't like this.
