Is there some kind of `produce { }` for a `BroadcastChannel`?

Not yet. It is not hard to implement, though. The hardest part is how to name it :wink:

The more composable solution, that I have in mind, is `broadcast()` extension, so that you can do `produce { ... }.broadcast()`. Solves the naming issue.

Like `publish()` in rx, but then there would be the overhead of chaining the regular `Channel` in `produce { }` to a `BroadcastChannel` when `.broadcast()` is called.

I was thinking of using this for broadcasting Android UI components to my business logic layer, which is lots of usage...

Maybe the overhead is worth the semantics, but you could always use `broadcast { }`, `coBroadcast { }, coProduce{ }` or have a class be imported `import Coroutine.*` to namespace both like RxJava `Observable` class.

Even if it would be a top level function, if there's a clash in naming, one couldn't do `import ...broadcast AS coBroadcast`. Or is that only for classes?
