PSA for everyone migrating to Kotlin 1.8 and compose 1.4:
There is a pretty nasty compiler bug that causes early returns to crash at runtime:

Column {
  if (true) return@Column
}

I remember i had this issue on the 1.0. I was never able to return from inline composables, like Column or Row

Yeah, this sounds like a regression. It was definitely fixed at some point.
