LookaheadScope

Common

[LookaheadScope] creates a scope in which all layouts will first determine their destination layout through a lookahead pass, followed by an approach pass to run the measurement and placement approach defined in [approachLayout] or [ApproachLayoutModifierNode], in order to gradually reach the destination.
