True, but by passing the same object as an attribute to a pair of Mithril components, I can have them share state. (Can be restricted to the scope of a parent component if desired.) Is there an additional requirement for compound components?
There isn't a built-in way to detect type of component. It would be useful when you want a parent component to encapsulate certain logic/behavior but not hard-code the presentation. I know there's name() but it only works if my component is a function. Otherwise I think I need to assign some special identifier, which sucks.
