Description

It would be nice if there were an extra render prop that allowed you to "set" the cached value to a new value, in the case of updating the cache for a mutation. This way you could nest a patch inside a get and use the update method to update the cache without having to re-request. (Same goes for post/delete as well.)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the existing render prop pattern for 'get' and implement a similar 'set' render prop that allows updating the cached value directly, avoiding re fetching. Consider supporting all HTTP methods (patch, post, delete) as mentioned.
