How to implement shouldComponentUpdate when using ReactIntl

[pselden]

I'm not clear on how a component that uses ReactIntl.Mixin (or any of the new components) can implement shoulComponentUpdate. Am I able to get at the messages/locale/formats properties from inside a subcomponent of my app so that when I switch languages I can re-render the components that use these? When using PureRenderMixin it just never re-renders the components that use it at all.

Is this just a fundamental problem when passing down the locale props down with context or is there a way to solve it?

TL;DR: do not use the context, be explicit thru props:

@caridy this is not manageable for a very large app :(

Related to this, we should also implement shouldComponentUpdate() within each of the React Intl components.
