Description

This hook is basically exactly like useEffect(..) except that it specifically defers its behavior asynchronously until the render frame (via requestAnimationFrame(..)).

Research direction
Implement the `useRender` hook by modeling it after the existing `useEffect` hook in the repository. The key difference is that `useRender` should schedule its effect using `requestAnimationFrame` instead of running synchronously or asynchronously without a frame. Review the existing hook patterns in the source code, particularly the `useState` implementation, to ensure consistency. Build a simple test case that demonstrates the deferred execution behavior.
