Short circuit when a navigation only updates location state

[Synvox]

Ran into an unexpected behavior today calling navigate:

function setValue(value) {
  navigate(
    location.pathname,
    {
      replace: true,
      state: {
        ...location.state,
        key: value
      },
    }
  )
}

Every time I called this function, my loaders would rerun. This makes sense because it's a navigation, but it doesn't actually navigate to a separate page. I wonder if this should short circuit like updating the location hash:

Thoughts?
