  * A DIY version of useEffectEvent.

  * Works like useCallback, except that it doesn't take a dependency array, and

+ * Example uses of useEffectEvent:
+ * 1. Stabilizing a function that you don't have direct control over (because it
+ *    comes from a library) without violating useEffect dependency arrays
+ * 2. Moving the burden of memoization from the parent to the custom hook (e.g.,
+ *    making it so that you don't need your components to always use useCallback
