is there an equivalent to `flowOn` that takes a `CoroutineScope`?  i basically want a way to have a `flow { }` block that runs inside an existing scope

feels like something that should be possible, i’m probably just not thinking of some super obvious way to do this

tried just passing `Scope.coroutineContext` but that crashes with `Flow context cannot contain job in it`

`flow` is cold. It should not be defined in _the existing scope_. But you can _collect_ it in a scope that you have.

right, i want to collect it on the main thread but run the computation in the `flow { }` block on a background thread

i guess i can just pass in the dispatcher to `flowOn` but i was trying not to deal with that because <http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO> isn’t in KMP
