decomplect data path and render path

Will be important if we want to be able to hint React yet support data joins in Om.

Doing this would open the door to writing very expressive declarative expressions to compute children - like oh say Datomic style queries :)

Along these lines, it would be nice if Om's update mechanism were polymorphic on the ICursor instance. The path-based cursors could be one option for meeting the interface, but others are possible.

For example, I have an app where you can select one or more items and then edit their properties. This is currently possible but a bit ugly. I can imagine having my own cursor instance where update would make the same update to multiple places in the state tree.

Yep been pondering this most of the day #23

Oops didn't mean to close just comment

Closing for now, until there's support from React itself, there's nothing much for us to do.
