shouldUpdate prevents every update

Hi,

I'm trying to use the new shouldUpdate method. Unfortunately, it isn't working as I expected. Here is an example without the shouldUpdate:

https://jsfiddle.net/u0u7q2zr/2/

You'll notice that when I press any button, the child updates. But if the value don't change, I don't want the child to update. So, I tried to define shouldUpdate as follows:

But that prevents the child from initializing. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

@cleytonb this works for me: https://jsfiddle.net/m0nnhwgz/

Note that I'm using parent.value in shouldUpdate instead, but I also need to assign this method only after mounting it seems. Which might be confusing indeed.

I found confusing that on shouldUpdate method, opts.* contains the old values and on update method, opts.* contains the new values. But since I can use the tag.* to reference the old values I believe it's ok for me.

But yes, shouldUpdate having to be assigned only after mount is confusing too.
