[Feature request] Hook to opt in to latest value in closures

[nathggns]

Currently in function components, props captured in closures reflect the relevant render value of that prop. It is possible to opt in being able to access the latest value using a combination of useRef and useEffect. However, this is poorly understood, and I think a native useLatest hook (potentially implemented using useRef and useEffect) would go a long way to bridging that gap.
