Returns: A Watcher with fine-grained change detection
Example:
setup(context, props) {
final count = useSignal(0);
final name = useSignal('Alice');
useWatcher(
() => [count.value, name.value],
(newValues, oldValues) {
print('Changed from $oldValues to $newValues');
},
);
return () => Text('${name.value}: ${count.value}');
}
