+/**
+ * @remarks
+ * Notes on plugins we _don't_ use:
+ *
+ *  ## plugin:react-hooks
+ *  We don't use the react hooks plugin because it disallows valid use-cases
+ *  such as this:
+ *
+ *  ```ts
+ *  export default function useValToAtom<S>(val: S): Atom<S> {
+ *  const atom = useMemo(() => {
+ *    return new Atom(val)
+ *  }, []) // <-- we don't _need_ to include `val` here, but the lint rule will require it
+ *
+ *  useLayoutEffect(() => {
+ *    atom.setState(val)
+ *  }, [val]) // <-- we also know `atom` will never change, but the lint rule doesn't
+ *
+ *  return atom
+ * ```
+ */
