childAttributes

functionsource
/**
 * Captures the current boundary's dispatcher and wraps each attribute
 *  so handlers inside it route through that boundary's wrapping chain at
 *  event-fire time, even when the attribute is later spread into a
 *  parent's element in a different boundary.
 * 
 *  Submodels call this when publishing attribute groups to a consumer's
 *  `toView` slot callback:
 * 
 *  ```ts
 *  // Inside a SubmodelView running in the child's boundary:
 *  return viewInputs.toView({
 *    checkbox: childAttributes([
 *      h.OnClick(Toggled()),
 *      h.Role('checkbox'),
 *    ]),
 *    ...
 *  })
 *  ```
 * 
 *  Without this binding step the consumer's element constructor would
 *  process `h.OnClick(Toggled())` using the parent's dispatcher (because
 *  the consumer's `toView` runs in the parent's boundary), bypassing the
 *  Submodel's `toParentMessage`.

createKeyedLazy

functionsource
/**
 * Creates a keyed memoization map for view functions rendered in a loop. Each
 *  key gets its own independent cache slot. On each render, only entries whose
 *  function reference, dispatch, or arguments have changed by reference are
 *  recomputed.
 * 
 *  Like `createLazy`, each key's cached VNode must be rendered at a single
 *  position in the tree. If the same item needs to appear in multiple
 *  positions, create one keyed lazy per position.

createLazy

functionsource
/**
 * Creates a memoization slot for a view function. On each render, if the
 *  function reference, dispatch, and all arguments are referentially equal
 *  (`===`) to the previous call, the cached VNode is returned without
 *  re-running the view function. Snabbdom's `patchVnode` short-circuits when
 *  it sees the same VNode reference, so both VNode construction and subtree
 *  diffing are skipped.
 * 
 *  Dispatch is part of the cache key because event handlers in the cached
 *  VNode close over the dispatch active when the VNode was built. Returning
 *  a VNode built under a different dispatch would silently misroute every
 *  event from that subtree.
 * 
 *  The cached VNode must be rendered at a single position in the tree.
 *  Snabbdom tracks the real DOM through each VNode's mutable `.elm` field
 *  and assumes one VNode per position. Rendering the same cached VNode at
 *  two positions causes patches to collide and can duplicate or misplace
 *  DOM nodes. If the same content needs to appear in multiple positions,
 *  create one slot per position.
