Is it possible to perform a return from a function outside the current context inside a function declared as crossinline in Kotlin?

In Kotlin, a function declared with the crossinline modifier prohibits the execution of non-local returns from the lambda it accepts. This means that you cannot use return inside the lambda to exit from the outer function in which this lambda is called.

Example:

inline fun foo(crossinline block: () -> Unit) {
    val runnable = Runnable {
        block() // non-local return cannot be used here
    }
    runnable.run()
}

fun bar() {
    foo {
        // return // compilation error, non-local return is not allowed
        println("Executing lambda")
    }
    println("Continuing in function bar")
}

Thus, returning from a function outside the current context inside a crossinline lambda is impossible. This restriction is introduced for safety and predictability of the code, especially when using lambdas in asynchronous or deferred calls.
