First off congratulations on such an amazing and clean take on hooks use in redux.

I think that for this library (or documentation) is missing 2 use cases for it to be used in a real-world project.

1. Call an action that sets a value on the store, but it's not needed in that component.
2. get a specific value without needing a setter function

There are other ways of doing this in Redux, but I was wondering about the best way to solve this problem in a "best-practice" with this library

As I have been trying to integrate hooked-on-redux in an existing project that contains multiple reducers there has been an issue that the getter and setter are working differently.

To be able to retrieve the value correctly I have to include the name of the reducer. However, this breaks the second part of the touple. To get the correct behavior there has to be something like this:

	const [loading] = useHookedOnState('flamingo.loading', true);
	const [, loading] = useHookedOnState('loading', true);

This is not even a possible solution because if the default state is an {} then redux gets into an infinite loop.

Awesome work and I think I have been waiting for something like this without realizing

Though why useHookedOn... and hooked-on-redux?

why not names like redux-hooks and useReduxState?

Just wanna understand the naming bit better. Thanks 🙂
