There is two things that trouble me:

  1. createNonBlockingRenderLoop({ key: 'a', concurrencyLevel: 1 }) and createNonBlockingRenderLoop({ key: 'a', concurrencyLevel: 2 }) can have different behavior based on which has been called first.
  2. Instead of just using <NonBlockingRenderLoop .../> I need to call the function.

1 Could be solved in a variety of ways, the simplest is issuing a warning.
2 Could be solved by implementing the lock mechanism in a static property of the component.
