We've been sitting on that for a while for quite a specific reason: its signature should've been (value: T, cause: Throwable) -> Unit, otherwise, when serving its main purpose, it is a capturing lambda that always allocates, even though there are no real reasons to.
Changing that, there is a variance conflict -- continuations are contravariant (in T) and functional types are covariant (out T), which forces us to fallback to @UnsafeVariance and ensure that it's sound.

There was an extended attempt (#3093) to change that and also receive a CoroutineContext as the third parameter, though this part remains questionable, and we never figured it out.

Taking into account it's experimental for so long if we are going to change the signature and deprecate it, this version is going to stay basically forever.

If you have any opinions on the current or potential API shape -- don't hesitate to tell us!

Thanks for the explanation. I hadn’t expected covariance!
