rerender simple expression in memo
When an expression is simple (few logical or arithmetical operators) and has a primitive result type (boolean, number, string), do not wrap it in `useMemo`. Calling `useMemo` and comparing hook dependencies may consume more resources than the expression itself.

Calling useMemo and comparing hook dependencies may consume more resources than the expression itself.
