Is there a naming convention for functions returning a `Flow` ?
(like Async suffix for the ones returning a `Deferred` )

for me the answer is no, because it is similar to a Stream-returning function, which I don't name differently from other functions. Typically they are named to indicate a collection/iterable, such as `listItems()`

`Deferred` is error-prone (it’s hot and you must not forget to await!) hence the naming convention to warn the user. There are no such problems with flow, hence no need for a special naming.

You will lose exception if the method returning deferred failed, unless it was using structured concurrency.

Somtimes, I suffix the property or function with `Flow`, like `locationUpdatesFlow`.
