description: "A Compose internal function. DO NOT call directly.

Returns the [Composer] instance currently being used to perform composition. The returned
Composer is specific to the location where this property is read. There are no guarantees that
the same Composer object will be returned elsewhere in the composition or that the Composer
instance will be the same across recompositions.

This property is exposed for use by the runtime, compiler, and tooling. It is not recommended for
public consumption. Mutating the state of the composer outside of calls generated by the Compose
compiler is not supported."
