Less complex implementation

wouldn't this work just as well? none of the max nonsense.

const useForceUpdate = () => {
  const [, setIt] = useState(false);
  return () => setIt(it => !it);
};

I don't see why not! I've heard that you can just call setIt with no parameters, and it will always cause a re-renders (no shallow comparisons for updating), but I haven't had time to test that.

It works! So I've ended up here.

const useForceUpdate = () => useState()[1];

also the stuff to prevent integer overflow in the current implementation is probably unnecessary. If your app rerendered 60x per second it would take 4760 years to overflow.
