Hi folks. Question about using SharedFlow: sometimes I want to apply `filter` or `map`, but these return regular `Flow`s, but I still want to use a SharedFlow. I know I can call `stateIn` or `shareIn` to turn them back into a StateFlow/SharedFlow, but this requires that I pass some arguments, when what I really want is for the same SharedFlow I had before, except with these filters/maps applied. Am I missing something? Is there a better way to map/filter a SharedFlow?

What's some example use case you need this for?

if your transformations are stateless, then it shouldn't matter how many times the resulting flow is subscribed, even if it's not a "StateFlow". if they're stateful, you should probably declare what dispatcher they run on anyway…

Thanks for responding! Sorry I realize my question is more about `StateFlow` specifically, since I have some code which accesses `value` directly. But, as it turns out, when I tried to write some example describing what I’d like to do, I realized that it did not make sense to filter/map a state flow into another state flow. So thanks anyhow!
