-/**
-* Creates a constructor for a class that may contain vue reactive primitives, setting up an effect scope to capture

-*
-* Wrapped classes containing reactive effects can be easily used without tying their lifetimes to a component instance
-* or the global application. This is effectively the equivalent of heap allocation instead of stack allocation.
-*
-* Advantages:
-* - less boilerplate (no need to remember to return all public methods and properties from a composable)
-* - makes it possible to manange reactive lifetimes that are entirely independent of UI state, such as objects that
-*   are constantly instantiated and destroyed that manage their own reactive states, that need to be referenced
-*   globally by multiple parts of a complex UI.
-* - The class syntax makes it easy to reference properites and functions before their declaration, avoiding annoying
-*   forward declarations.

+/**
+* Creates a constructor for a class that may contain vue reactive primitives, setting up an effect scope to capture
+* all effects, assigning a destroy function that will stop the effect scope and clean up effects.
+*
+* Wrapped classes containing reactive effects can be easily used without tying their lifetimes to a component instance
+* or the global application. This is effectively the equivalent of heap allocation instead of stack allocation.
+*
+* Advantages:
+* - less boilerplate (no need to remember to return all public methods and properties from a composable)
+* - makes it possible to manange reactive lifetimes that are entirely independent of UI state, such as objects that
+*   are constantly instantiated and destroyed that manage their own reactive states, that need to be referenced
+*   globally by multiple parts of a complex UI.
+* - The class syntax makes it easy to reference properites and functions before their declaration, avoiding annoying
+*   forward declarations.
