Find a way to make Hiccup forms easier to analyze

[Deraen]

clj-kondo/clj-kondo#25

• Optional way to create normal Reagent components from functions using some keyword, like :n> :$. Would work the same way as [comp], but the keyword would make it possible to find the calls.
  • Namespaced keyword would be even better, but would be quite verbose.
• Provide function based API to optionally replace Hiccup syntax (like om.dom, helix.dom).

Alternatives (not necessarily better than what's already mentioned):

• macro which expands into a vector call:

(defmacro f [& args] `[~@args])
(r/f component  1 2 3)

This solution doesn't need any changes to other code in Reagent, but allows static analysis to detect reagent calls accurately.

• clj-kondo could have a mode in which it always treats [foo 1 2 3] as a function call in .cljs files. False positives should be handled by users.

Form-2 components are marked by clj-kondo as unused binding

(defn outer 
  [a b c]            ;; <--- those parameters will get marked by clj-kondo as unused-binding
  ;;  ....
  (fn [a b c]        ;; <--- they are repeated here
    [:div
      (str a b c)]))

@Kaspazza The way to solve this is to write:

(defn outer [_a _b _c] ...)

@borkdude Hmmm, I was in a mindset it is used so there should be no warning... But it makes sense... Thanks!
