fun <T> (suspend () -> T).createCoroutine(
    completion: Continuation<T>
): Continuation<Unit>

Creates a coroutine without a receiver and with result type T. This function creates a new, fresh instance of suspendable computation every time it is invoked.

To start executing the created coroutine, invoke resume(Unit) on the returned Continuation instance. The completion continuation is invoked when the coroutine completes with a result or an exception. Subsequent invocation of any resume function on the resulting continuation will produce an IllegalStateException.
