RFC: Use <Subscriber render> instead of <Subscriber children>

[mjackson]

I'm personally starting to prefer using render instead of children whenever I'm using a render prop. But that may just be me.

👍 I feel like children should be reserved for JSX because that’s what you can put inside <Component>...</Component>.

I'd compare using function in children to using thunks in Redux - you don't get the actual child, but something that you can call to get the child.
In this sense it's natural that there cannot be any other child other than the one between the tags, whereas with the render prop it feels (IMO) like a second API to do the same thing, just like the explicit children prop (i.e. <Compo children={something} />).

I think using function-as-children shouldn't feel any different from using thunk-as-action. On the other hand, not everyone fancies Redux 😉

I think we'll just leave it at children for now. That's sort of the universally expected "render prop".
