More of a meta-question: why does Compose use an @Composable annotation instead of a composable keyword, and might this change in the future?

Compose goes way past the normal annotation-processing, and the semantics of composable functions seem to follow more closely with the suspend keyword. And Facebook’s new AI library adds a differentiable fun keyword so it seems natural that Compose would support a composable fun keyword as well.
