SpringBoot Spring Webfilters and Kotlin Coroutines

Hello and thanks for the great work. I am heavily using Spring Boot Webflux together with Kotlin and Coroutines. I wanted to ask, if it is planned to introduce a Coroutine aware Webclient and a suspending Webfilter. So instead of using

override fun filter(exchange: ServerWebExchange, chain: GatewayFilterChain): Mono<Void> to be able to use something like the following:

override suspend fun filter(exchange: ServerWebExchange, chain: GatewayFilterChain)

I think having to use Reactor in some places and Coroutines in others does not allow for a consistent coding patterns for Spring Boot Kotlin users.

This is a request you'd need to raise with the Spring Framework team at https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues.
