Weird proposal: operator invoke extension on context

See original GitHub issue

Ok. This is a weird, but let me shoot it here. How about instead of writing:

withContext(UI) { 
    updateSomethingInMyUI()
}

we could just write:

UI { 
    updateSomethingInMyUI()
}

Does it make sense? 👍or 👎

Not sure if UI {} won’t be confused with launch(UI) {}

@LouisCAD 👍 Let’s try it as an extension for CoroutineDispatcher. We should start with an experimental inline function – it adds less weight to our public API. A member for this purpose is not Kotlinish. If the feedback is positive, then we’ll stabilize it after one release cycle.
