Consider stabilizing `CoroutineStart.ATOMIC`

Open jacktol opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

The CoroutineStart.ATOMIC option was marked experimental almost 6 years ago as part of version 0.30.0. Is there a strong reason that the option is still experimental, or could it be considered stable by now?

I think it's time to promote it to delicate: it has its use-cases, but it's easy to misuse, which fits the delicate concept perfectly

The characteristics listed in the KDoc that make ATOMIC delicate also apply to UNDISPATCHED. Should it also be made delicate?

@lukellmann UNDISPATCHED has a wider range of use cases due to the threading guaranties, so it isn't marked as delicate API
