Clarify the items in the each needing ids/keys (#446)
* Clarify the items in the each needing ids/keys
Try to clarify that it is updating the DOM/components after deleting the last item.
For some reason, I read this as changing the array itself by removing the last item.
I suspect my changes need to be slimmed down and edited.
Yes, I am neuro-divergent. Why do you ask? 😃

By default, when you modify the value of an `each` block, it will add and remove items at the _end_ of the block, and update any values that have changed. That might not be what you want.

It's easier to show why than to explain. Click the 'Remove first thing' button a few times, and notice what happens: it does not remove the first `<Thing>` component, but rather the _last_ DOM node. Then it updates the `name` value in the remaining DOM nodes, but not the emoji, which is fixed when each `<Thing>` is created.

It's easier to show why than to explain. The `<Thing>` component sets the emoji as a constant on initialization, but the name is passed in via a prop.

Instead, we'd like to remove only the first `<Thing>` component and its DOM node, and leave the others unaffected.

Here, `(thing.id)` is the _key_, which tells Svelte how to figure out which DOM node to change when the component updates.

> You can use any object as the key, as Svelte uses a `Map` internally — in other words you could do `(thing)` instead of `(thing.id)`. Using a string or number is generally safer, however, since it means identity persists without referential equality, for example when updating with fresh data from an API server.
