Forgive noob question, but coming from Rx background this tends to be a big issue…
If I assign a `SharedFlow` or `StateFlow` initialized from a cold `Flow` (with `stateIn(...Eagerly...)`) to a `var`, but then later assign `null` to the `var`; once there are no subscribers left to the `SharedFlow` (and no references left to it) will it cancel the original cold `Flow` (and otherwise free its resources)?

No, if you need Rx's `refCount` equivalent, use `SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed()` . Otherwise original cold flow will be cancelled once scope (passed to stateIn/shareIn) gets cancelled
