better createContext APIs with setters, and no default values, in Typescript. this is documented in https://github.com/typescript-cheatsheets/react-typescript-cheatsheet/blob/master/README.md#context
// create context with no upfront defaultValue
// without having to do undefined check all the time
function createCtx<A>() {
const ctx = React.createContext<A | undefined>(undefined)

return c
}
return [useCtx, ctx.Provider] as const
