title: What is an imperative escape hatch?
body: <p>I have been reading Dan Abramov's article <a href="https://overreacted.io/react-as-a-ui-runtime/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">react as a rendering ui</a> and saw the term "imperative escape hatch".</p>
  
  <p>My question is what is this? Can some one give an example of one and when it would be useful.</p>
