I think when drawing the snapshot with `Checkpointed` you are already
inside a streaming `Function` or internal operator where one can easily access
that information anyway.
I think that is fine that way, I agree with @gyfora that access from the
`StateBackend` is more important as that is potentially decoupled from drawing
the snapshot itself.
As for other points listed by @StephanEwen they sound reasonable for me.
