Is there a quick way to create a ReceiveChannel from an Iterable?

à la

fun <E> Iterable<E>.toChannel() =
	GlobalScope.produce { forEach { send(it) } }

Hey, I came up with this :

fun <T> Iterable<T>.toChannel(): ReceiveChannel<T> {
    val channel = Channel<T>(Channel.UNLIMITED)
    GlobalScope.launch {
        [e-mail] { channel.send(it) }
        channel.close()
    }
    return channel
}

I only tested it on a quick example, seems to work ok !

Thanks! Is there a difference between the two?

I think produce might use a different type of channel. Other than that, produce vs. launch.
