 If an Interactivity API store is created on the server with an empty
 array:

 {{{#!php
 wp_interactivity_state( 'myPlugin', array() );
 }}}

 It is serialized and sent to the client as a JavaScript array: `[]`.
 However, state is expected to be an object `{}`. This creates problems on
 the client when server and client states are merged. For example, it
 breaks state getters defined on the client like this:

 {{{
 store( "myplugin/demo", {
   state: {
     get aValue() {
       return 'This will break.';
     },
   }
 } );
 }}}
