[question] why not create helper extension functions?

Foe example in ViewModels there are a lot of very similar code
```
}.stateIn(
scope = viewModelScope,
started = SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed(5_000),
initialValue = SearchResultUiState.Loading,
)
```

in tests there are `backgroundScope.launch(UnconfinedTestDispatcher()) { viewModel.searchResultUiState.collect() }`

so why not have extension functions to simplify it?

Review the repeated stateIn blocks in the ViewModels and the backgroundScope.launch(UnconfinedTestDispatcher()) collectors in tests. First determine whether the proposal has a defined API and scope; done would require an agreed design and documented examples or tests showing the resulting helper functions are appropriate.
