Woah, `ref` as a function is secretly so powerful. No more `undefined` checks and useEffects just to add some document event listeners. Handle everything with a function in-line 👍

One of my favorite changes in v19. Callback refs are really good. I'll write another blogpost soon because my recommendation to wrap in useCallback might not be 100% correct.

Yeah, I'm curious about that. I recognize this pattern from SolidJS but I imagine React will run this ref callback on every re-render. Could that be an issue for, say, `document.addEventListener` use cases?
