Error boundries

In React 16 components introduce something new called error boundries. The main idea is that if an error is thrown from a component, it can be caught early, and prevents crashing the whole web page.

I find this interesting because:

1. it means apps can keep running even if a component crashes (resiliency! :D)
2. it'll play well with component.use (or similar); can send through the error to a local dev logger, or monitoring solution
3. it's especially good to add resiliency when encapsulating 3rd party code - ideally code would never crash, but alas code isn't bug free

Thoughts?

How does this work? Wrap stuff in try catch?

I like the idea though.

I saw this on twétèr and thought the idea was interesting too. Would this be something baked in to nanocomponent or could it be maintained as a standalone module?

Think having it be part of NC would be good - isolates a class of errors / unlike servers you'll most likely never want a full page to crash
