ProvideCommonCompositionLocals provides LocalSoftwareKeyboardController and LocalTextInputService, which are static composition locals. New classes are instantiated every time, which leads to recomposing the entire tree. (ProvideCommonCompositionLocals gets called when changing language, for example.)

Is this desired behavior for some reason, or could we either

1. Change LocalSoftwareKeyboardControllerand LocalTextInputService use compositionLocalOf instead?
2. Change textInputService and softwareKeyboardController to always use the same value if new class instances are not needed?

The instantiation of new classes are somewhat hidden in property getter functions here:
