One pattern that I love to use in my SvelteKit projects is returning writable stores from the layout’s load function. Can we migrate this to the new $state rune?

Honestly, svelte5 p**es me off so much with all this new complexity and really bad documentation. I did another project in solid and I wish I could migrate everything over. It so clean and easy to reason about. No brain twisting trying to understand the inner workings of the svelte compiler which is used in the docs to justify all kinds of limitations while they praise the new ergonomics. Argh. Sorry for this venting.

I still hate the new $props rune but the other runes seem like good improvements. But yea Svelte is getting less magical, more explicit, more complex in some places. Haven’t looked at Solid yet but it’s on my list.
