State.nested does not work with symbol keys

[zroug]

const id = Symbol()
const state = hookstate({[id]: "Hello World!"})
console.log(state.nested(id).get())

Expected output is Hello World!, actual output is undefined, there is no runtime error or type error from TypeScript.

Hookstate should do one of two things:

• Do not support symbol keys
  In this case, this should cause a type error for TypeScript and maybe a runtime error with a readable error message.
• Support symbol keys

The latter is of course preferred but more difficult to achieve.

This library is dead, there is no support and there is no traction.

It's important to remember that this library is being developed by a single developer, most likely in his spare time. He may have other responsibilities or priorities that prevent him from working on the project as often as you would like. You always have the option to contribute or fork.

Hi, guys the library is not dead. I am on holidays offline at the moment. I had the busiest year working for the fastest growing start up in NZ history and needed a good break offline to recover. I will address all the tickets, no worries

Symbols are possible to get and set on a state and state value. They are actually special and maybe used by plugins to associate hidden metadata. I will explore if it is possible to prevent the use case of nested(symbol) on a type system. If you can come up with type definition which traps it, it would be great.
