How can an initial value be loaded from a `suspend` function using something similar to `.scan(..)` with a `SharedFlow`?

```.scan(loadInitialValueAsynchronously()) { .. }```
I’m effectively trying to replace an `actor` with a `SharedFlow`.

The best solution I’ve come up with is to use a `Deferred&lt;SharedFlow&lt;State&gt;` and emit that as `
```flow { emitAll(deferredStateFlow.await()) }```
seems a little un-ergonomic though? is there a better solution?

I think

```.shareIn(
  this,
  SharingStarted.Eagerly, // begin observing immediately!
  replay = 1
)```
can be replaced with:

```.stateIn(this)```
which makes it a little nicer
