ok i swear i knew the answer to this one but — if I want to run some Java function that blocks and might be slow and get a timeout from it, how do I do that? will this do the trick?

withTimeout(5000L) {
  withContext(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>) {
    somePotentiallySlowThreadBlockingFunction()
  }
}

Note that I'm perfectly fine with the fact that the timeout won't actually stop the work from happening in

somePotentiallySlowThreadBlockingFunction

. This is happening at global process shutdown so the important thing is being able to move on to the next step of shutdown in finite time, not absolutely making sure that

somePotentiallySlowThreadBlockingFunction

doesn't continue. Like, I know

withTimeout

alone won't work with non-cooperative code, but does the withContext maybe make it work?
