BabelPlugin for infering store structure.

[blainekasten]

MVP requires a property of store on Provider. I dream of a day where a Babel Transform can assume all of the store's structure for you so you don't have to map these things. By observing the relationship of components to state, I think it should be inferable.

API for default state?

This is an unknown, but if the state is not needed as a default argument, there has to be a way to set the default state. Initial thoughts are a callback of a sort.

<Provider defaultState={() => { foo: 'bar', x: true }} />

Knowing store shape benefits

If we can probably infer the store shape, we can also then do a propType type thing to make sure updatedState doesn't break the shape. For example:

If we know that state.x is an array, and somebody's action tries to set it to a string, then the store API is broken.

// state.nicknames = ['joe', 'james', 'john'];

// action
updateNickname({nickname}, next) {
  next({nickname: 'jacked up joe'});
});

This should throw an error because the state is inferred to be an array from either some default data, or through introspection of other components.
