Why doesn't subscribe dispatch the current state?

I'm working on integrating redux into a project, and I'm setting up all of my view components (not using React here) to get passed the state and render/update themselves based on it. I know this is a fairly minor issue, but I'd like to know why the state object isn't passed an argument to the subscribe callback.

For example, what I'd like to do is this:

const store = createStore(reducer, state);
store.subscribe(view.render);

But what I have to do is this:

const store = createStore(reducer, state);
store.subscribe(() => {
    view.render(store.getState());
});

Is there a reason for this?

This has been discussed previously:

#1513
#303

TL;DR: Being notified that a store has changed is orthogonal to getting the current state. Read the above referenced issues for more details.

Fair enough, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

FWIW we can finally allow this after #1702 because store enhancers are exposed to a subset of API without subscribe.
