I have a few subcomponents, each which have a state.  From the 'parent' component, I want to monitor the state changes of the subcomponents and, if any of them go to an error state, take some action.  I was hoping to be able to do a `select` expression in the 'parent' on a set of `StateFlows` from the subcomponents, but I saw `onReceive` isn't directly supported by `StateFlow`.  I tried using `produceIn` on the `StateFlow` so I could use `onReceive`, but then I get the most recent state over and over.  I looked at using `distinctUntilChanged` on the `StateFlow`, but then saw that has no effect...What should I go with here?  I also can't 'miss' a value here, so maybe `StateFlow` is the wrong tool?

`SharedFlow` seems to have similar problems.  A normal `Channel` does seem to get me the behavior I want, though I do miss the state-variable style of `StateFlow`, though.

Also I lose the 'broadcast' semantics by using `Channel`, which I think I also need.  So maybe I'll just implement a 'manual' select-type logic to monitor multiple `SharedFlow` s
