Dealing with `Either.catch()` being a suspend has turned out to be quite a pain …why is it unsafe to make my own `catch()` function that is not a suspend version? …as in what problem will I run into …keep in mind that I am not using coroutines in the code in question …I have a large number of functions that wrap other functions to return their exceptions as a `Left`. My code is getting quite ugly as I am having to weave a lot of `runBlocking { }` into my call stacks …namely inside of `flatMap { }` and `handleErrorWith { }`

We’ve discussed adding a non-suspend copy of the function to a client’s codebase like yours as an okay thing to do. It’s just not something we want to encourage as a library
