I currently have a listener pattern that just puts functions in a list and invokes them if a new event occurs
can i make this pattern use flows instead? the problems i imagine:

* can multiple collectors get the same values?
* can i "unsubscribe" collectors?

I currently have a channel, so i can dispatch events from somewhere else, flow just did not fit my needs. So channel.receiveAsFlow is what i would want, but that would make it so I can only collect the element once.

Maybe working solution:

channel.broadcast().asFlow()

But how will I unsubscribe a collector (like unregistering a listener)

Unsubscribe - cancel the scope that the collection is happening in.

Yep, ended up using a BroadcastChannel (conflated) and canceling the scopes, thanks!
