Hot reloading thoughts #11

Here are some preliminary thoughts about how to implement hot-reloading.

Add extra inner id to widgets.

Widget paths point to widgets with the highest current inner ids (among widgets with the same name).
Widgets that don't have the highest current inner id are garbage collected.
- When rebuilding a UI branch, increment the inner id of the branch root widget and all its descendents.

Track which UI branches use specific styles.

If a style changes in-file, rebuild the UI branches that use that style.

Track which function calls generate which UI branches.

When the file-tracker identifies that a hot-reload-marked function has changed, rebuild the UI branches that were generated by that function (i.e. call that function again).
