setStore force replace

[odama626]

I ran into a use case where I want to be able to replace the value of a store and realized it isn't possible with the current api since using objects always merge, is there a recommended way to replace that?

batch(() => {
  setStore('toBeOverwritten', undefined);
  setStore('toBeOverwritten', { newStuff: true });
});

Just go up a level. It only merges shallow.

// instead of
setStore("key", newObject)

// do this
setStore({
  key: newObject
})

That being said we can't replace top level as we have an object proxy which needs a stable reference. We'd need to diff all the properties. reconcile can do this.
