/// A constrained and concise interface for interacting with the ViewModel.
///
/// This class is closely bound to`StateStoreViewModel`. It provides the exact interface the view should need to interact
/// ViewModel (as modelled on our previous template architecture with the addition of two-way binding):
/// - The ability read/observe view state
/// - The ability to send view events
/// - The ability to bind state to a specific portion of the view state safely.
/// This class was brought about a little bit by necessity. The most idiomatic way of interacting with SwiftUI is via `@Published`
/// properties which which are property wrappers and therefore can't be defined within protocols.
/// A similar approach is taken in libraries like [CombineFeedback](https://github.com/sergdort/CombineFeedback).
/// It provides a nice layer of consistency and also safety. As we are not passing the `ViewModel` to the view directly, shortcuts/hacks
/// can't be made into the `ViewModel`.
