title: Accessing state outside a component with react-redux
body: <p>I have a large react-redux based application in development. I'd like to add some utility functions to a js script that does not contain a react component to "connect" to. How do I access the state in react-redux without a component? Neither <code>mapStateToProps</code> nor <code>mapDispatchToProps</code> are available - do I need to export the state object from the top-level index.js file? Seems dangerous.</p>
  
  <p>Suggestions welcome!</p>
