Reagent component util
(defn component
"Experimental! A Reagent 'component' is a (fn [& [props children this]]) that:
* May have special metadata for React lifecycle methods.
* Returns either Hiccup data, or a nested (usu. post-setup) component[1].
This util makes writing Reagent components a little more convenient:
(component
:render (fn [node_ & cmpt-args]) -> Hiccup data, or nested component[1].
;; Additional methods optional:
:did-mount (fn [node])
:did-update (fn [node])
:will-unmount (fn [node]))
-> (fn [& cmpt-args]) component.
[1] Nb note that nested component fns are _only_ called when one or more of
their input args have actually changed!!"

(let [methods (apply hash-map lifecycle-methods)
node_ (atom nil)]
(assert (ifn? (:render methods)) "No :render lifecycle method provided")
(assert (every? #{:render :did-mount :did-update :will-unmount} (keys methods))
"Bad lifecycle method key(s) provided")
