Does anybody know how you can create a `MutableStateFlow` that allows duplicate events to be send.
Basically mitigate the default `distinctUntilChanged` behavior?

Use SharedFlow instead, there is no way to do this with stateflow idiomatically (there is an ugly way though - via object wrapper, but even in this case some items may be lost if collector is slower than producer)

Can you give a simple sample of the `SharedFlow` that allows duplicate events?

Yep, something like
```MutableSharedFlow&lt;Event&gt;(1, extraBufferCapacity = 64)```

wait what? if I stateFlow.value = "5" twice, it will get emitted only once?

yes, because it represents "state" (obviously from its name) when you set it to "5" second time, state was not changed

+ equals can be heavy ..a waste for collections, etc near UI especially, which will get diffed anyways
