/**
 * Layout to wrap a scrollable component inside a ViewPager2. Provided as a solution to the problem
 * where pages of ViewPager2 have nested scrollable elements that scroll in the same direction as
 * ViewPager2. The scrollable element needs to be the immediate and only child of this host layout.
 *
 * This solution has limitations when using multiple levels of nested scrollable elements
 * (e.g. a horizontal RecyclerView in a vertical RecyclerView in a horizontal ViewPager2).
