SubcomposeSlotReusePolicy

This policy allows SubcomposeLayout to retain some of slots which we were used but not used anymore instead of disposing them. Next time when you try to compose a new slot instead of creating a completely new slot the layout would reuse the kept slot. This allows to do less work especially if the slot contents are similar.
