Feature: support of message id so a similar notification just replaces the current one #55

It would be nice if we could have an "id" associated with a message, that will then lead to the current notification with the same id to just change its content and play a little wiggle animation (or pulse or something).

Hey @pke, can you provide a use-case where this feature can be useful? Since this library can display only one notification per time, I think it will be enough to have something like updateCurrentNoficiation method. But I might be wrong, and that's why I need to know how you are planning to use it  🙂

Use-Case Shopping Cart: When the user adds a product to the cart a toast is displayed "{product} added to cart". When the user adds this product again while the toast is still displayed the timeout for the toast should reset and it should change its text to the new text.

show({ id: product.id, content: `${product.name} added to card`})

// later
show({ id: product.id, content: `2 x ${product.name} are in the cart now`})

The notifications can have a unique id set by the caller and if the notification with this id is still displayed it just updates its props and resets its timeout.

Does this make it clearer?
