Advanced example for manually updating subscriptions in response to props changes in an async-safe way
// This is an advanced example! It is not typically required for application code.
// If you are using a library like Redux or MobX, use the container component provided by that library.
// If you are authoring such a library, use the technique shown below.
// This example shows how to safely update subscriptions in response to props changes.
// In this case, it is important to wait until `componentDidUpdate` before removing a subscription.
// In the event that a render is cancelled before being committed, this will prevent us from unsubscribing prematurely.
// We also need to be careful about how we handle events that are dispatched in between
// `getDerivedStateFromProps` and `componentDidUpdate` so that we don't put stale values into the `state`.
