Object.constructor is used as state for reducer named "constructor"
See original GitHub issueWhat is the current behavior?
if combineReducers is passed an object containing constructor key, initialState is erased and Object.constructor is used as state instead.
Steps to Reproduce
https://codesandbox.io/s/react-redux-hooks-forked-jf8xe?file=/src/store.js
What is the expected behavior?
making constructor behave as any other key would be nice, but if there are some technical limitations even warning (both during combineReducers exectution and docs) would help a lot 👍

I’m legitimately curious: why would you actually have a key named
constructorin your state in the first place?I’m going to close this because I feel it’s too much of an edge case for us to do anything about. The overall answer here is that using fields named
constructororprototypeare potential problems for JS in general, not just Redux.
