/**
 * MeasureHeight is a component that allows you to measure the height of elements wrapped.
 *
 * Each time the height changed, the `onMeasure` prop will be called.
 * On each component update the `shouldMeasure` prop is being called and depending of
 * the value returned will be decided whether to call `onMeasure`.
 * By default `shouldMeasure` will compare the old and new values of the `state` prop.
 * Both `shouldMeasure` and `state` can be used to reduce the amount of meausres, which
 * will recude the count of forced reflows in browser.
 *
 * Usage:
 * <MeasureHeight
 *     state={theValueToInvalidateCurrentMeasure}
 *     onMeasure={this.onUpdateContextHeight}
 * >
 *     <div>some content here</div>
 *     <div>which may be multiple children</div>
 * </MeasureHeight>
