-There are a few problems with this. One is that the input component cannot be reused separately from the enhanced component. More crucially, if you apply another HOC to `EnhancedComponent` that *also* mutates `componentWillReceiveProps`, the first HOC's functionality will be overridden! This HOC also won't work with function components, which do not have lifecycle methods.

 Mutating HOCs are a leaky abstraction—the consumer must know how they are implemented in order to avoid conflicts with other HOCs.
