Support for complex types of state values

Hello,

First - thanks for this nice library.

I have one problem with state and Date.

Simple component:

export function DateComponent() {
  const date = useState<Date>(new Date());
  return <div>{date.get().toString()}</div>;
}

Returns

TypeError
_this.child(...).get is not a function

Problem is default value (new Date())

Is this bug or I miss something?

Btw after some investigation -

 date.attach(Downgraded);

works fine.

Thanks

Ok. I will check how to improve this doc. I have also experimented with adding support for Date and other complex JS types. It is possible to make it work for the @hookstate/core. But it is a problem for some plugins, as complex JS types are not JSON serializable - which is a weakness of the JS language itself. Not sure if adding this support is valuable. Until now I managed to work around this language limitation using plain strings…

No problem; it’s pretty easy to miss as it’s a small section at the end of a very long page.

@avkonst Perhaps move the limitations section to its own category in the docs?
