Can StateFlow represent one off events?

It's not ideal if you're only emitting events (use 
SharedFlow
for that). But if you're trying to express a one-off event in your state, you can use some kind of event ID to distinguish events over time.

You can finagle them to make that happen, but they are not ideal for this.
Until the SharedFlow become available, I wrapped a BroadcastChannel in a Flow to make my own shared-flow for now. It works, but the new SharedFlow is much more performant and not as ‘expensive’ (it doesn’t use a broadcastchannel, iirc).
