[release] 4.0 tracker

[yoshuawuyts]

Major release, routing edition

Programmatic navigation is essential. But to achieve it we need to have breaking changes. And if we're going to break things, we might as well go all out again. So this issue is here to track the changes for the 4.0.0 release. All patches will be merged into the 4 branch, so that should provide an accurate representation of where things are at. Feedback and testing at any stage would be very welcome!

oh yeah, we've got a preliminary release branch up on choo@4.0.0-0 - missing the arg order switch, and no hash routing (yet) but that's about it (:

If I'm starting a new project would it be better to use the 4.0.0 branch or the older one?
But need some documentation though to try it out.

[yoshuawuyts]

Either one should work; biggest blocker right now is docs tbh - there's a
PR in, and examples are like mostly up to date so you could if you wanted
to
