- only re-render component if props or requests shallowly changed
- this.setAtomicState now creates new objects for all 4 keys
- added tests for `pure: true` and `pure: false`
- added `pure` option to api docs

 * `[newOptions = {}]` *(Object)*: An object with any of the following keys:
     - `withRef` *(Boolean)*: If `true`, the connector will store a ref to the wrapped component instance and make it available via the `getWrappedInstance()` method. Defaults to `false`.
+    - `pure` *(Boolean)*: If `true`, the connector will treat the wrapped component and the mapPropsToRequestsToProps function as pure, recomputing requests and re-rendering only when props are shallowly different. If `false`, recompute and re-render every time props change. Defaults to `true`.
