Redux O.M.T (Off the Main Thread)

Inspired by Surma's blog post React + Redux + Comlink = Off-main-thread.

This project wraps comlink and immerJS for moving redux off the main thread. Comlink on its own is great for getting into workers, but "by moving Redux to a worker every state change will cause the creation of a new copy due to structured cloning." Which is something we don't want. Surma notes that the solution is 'patching' - instead of sending the entire state, we can just send the changes.

ImmerJS is a library that gives us this functionality almost for free - we just wrap the store (in the worker) so that we can monitor the changes to the state in the reducer and not just get the new object.
