/**
* 'debounces' a function to only execute every n milliseconds.
* Useful when react-sdk gets many, many events but only wants
* to update the interface once for all of them.
*
* Note that the function must not take arguments, since the args
* could be different for each invocation of the function.
*
* The returned function has a 'cancelPendingCall' property which can be called
* on unmount or similar to cancel any pending update.
