+     * code can trigger a rendering independently, it is insufficient.

+     * state (for example, if the sub component has an id key related to some
+     * object that has been removed from the context).

+     * For now, sadly, the only solution is that components that depends on external
+     * state should guarantee their own integrity themselves. Then maybe this
