-/**
- * When dynamically registering modules, Vuex re-executes watchers, if the watcher is over a
- * primitive value, it is stopped due to a simple === comparison, but when it is over a complex
- * object or array, the comparison fails, and it emits that the value has changed. Looks like
- * this behavior is intended. Vuex store is reset when registering a new module.
- * {@link https://github.com/vuejs/vuex/issues/524#issuecomment-267715183}.
