Is it posible to combine useSetAtom with useReducerAtom?

[Stainless2k]

I basically want a version of useReducerAtom that only returns the dispatch, for the same reasons setAtom exist, to reduce unnecessary re-renders.

In our app we use an atomFamily of atomWithStorage with the useReducerAtom hook, but at some places we don't care about the value we just need the dispatch

In that case, you want to simply use useSetAtom and create a custom hook to apply a reducer.
That made me think that we should rather deprecate useReducerAtom. I don't think it's widely used, and it's limited as you suggest.
