/**
 * Create a higher-order reducer by combining a set of sub-reducer
 * functions that are indexed by the standard action.type.  When no
 * action.type is acted on, the original state is merely
 * passed-through (using the [identity
 * function](https://lodash.com/docs#identity)).
 *
 * This is one of the more prevalent composition reducers, and
 * provides an alternative to the switch statement (commonly used to
 * provide this control mechanism).
 * 
 * The {{book.guide.devGuide}} discusses reducerHash() in more detail (see
 * {{book.guide.conceptHash}}), and additional examples can be found in
 * {{book.guide.conceptJoin}} and {{book.guide.fullExample}}.
 *
 * **SideBar**: Because reducerHash is so central to the rudimentary
 * aspect of reduction, it is a common practice to extend it,
 * promoting a 
 * [`centralized reducer-based logging capability`](/extending/logExt.md), 
 * with an ability to correlate logging levels to state changes
 * *(providing a means to filter logs at a high level with minimal
 * output)*.
 *
 * @param {ActionReducerHash} actionHandlers - a hash of reducer functions,
 * indexed by the standard redux action.type.
 *
 * @param {InitialState} [initialState] - the optional fall-back state
 * value used during the state initialization boot-strap process.
 * 
 * @returns {reducerFn} a newly created reducer function (described above).
