 A default handler can be attached, which is invoked for all actions not associated with a handler.
 ```ts
-const add = createAction('todos/ADD', length => length)<number>();
-const reset = createAction('', () => 0)<number>();
-const counterReducer = createReducer(0)
-  .handleAction(add, (state, action) => state + action.payload)
