/**
* An *action* is a plain object that represents an intention to change the
* state. Actions are the only way to get data into the store. Any data,
* whether from UI events, network callbacks, or other sources such as
* WebSockets needs to eventually be dispatched as actions.
*
* Actions must have a `type` field that indicates the type of action being
* performed. Types can be defined as constants and imported from another
* module. It's better to use strings for `type` than Symbols because strings
* are serializable.
*
* Other than `type`, the structure of an action object is really up to you.
* If you're interested, check out Flux Standard Action for recommendations on
* how actions should be constructed.
*
* @template T the type of the action's `type` tag.

/**

* This is not part of `Action` itself to prevent types that extend `Action` from
* having an index signature.

/**
* A *reducer* (also called a *reducing function*) is a function that accepts
* an accumulation and a value and returns a new accumulation. They are used
* to reduce a collection of values down to a single value
*
* Reducers are not unique to Redux—they are a fundamental concept in
* functional programming. Even most non-functional languages, like
* JavaScript, have a built-in API for reducing. In JavaScript, it's
* `Array.prototype.reduce()`.
*
* In Redux, the accumulated value is the state object, and the values being
* accumulated are actions. Reducers calculate a new state given the previous
* state and an action. They must be *pure functions*—functions that return
* the exact same output for given inputs. They should also be free of
* side-effects. This is what enables exciting features like hot reloading and
* time travel.
*
* Reducers are the most important concept in Redux.
*
* *Do not put API calls into reducers.*
*
* @template S The type of state consumed and produced by this reducer.
* @template A The type of actions the reducer can potentially respond to.

/**
* Turns an object whose values are different reducer functions, into a single
* reducer function. It will call every child reducer, and gather their results
* into a single state object, whose keys correspond to the keys of the passed
* reducer functions.
*
* @template S Combined state object type.
*
* @param reducers An object whose values correspond to different reducer
* functions that need to be combined into one. One handy way to obtain it
* is to use ES6 `import * as reducers` syntax. The reducers may never
* return undefined for any action. Instead, they should return their
* initial state if the state passed to them was undefined, and the current
* state for any unrecognized action.
*
* @returns A reducer function that invokes every reducer inside the passed
* object, and builds a state object with the same shape.
