Immer: Property drilling on empty object

[pie6k]

🚀 Feature Proposal

It would make it possible to do something like this

const result = produce({}, (draft) => {draft.foo.bar.baz = 2})

where result would be

{
  foo: {
    bar: {
      baz: 2
    }
  }

Motivation

It would allow creating desired objects from empty objects without boilerplate.

There are packages that already support this (nevernull from the top of
my head).

It should not be part of Immer imho for several reasons:

1. It doesn't fit the philosophy where we leverage existing mutable
   javascript constructs to create immutable objects
2. This wouldn't be polyfillable to ES5
3. This is not the problem immer tries to solve, and could just as well
   solved by another package. making it available by default in produce would
   be a matter of simple composition from there.
