-/**
- * This function should be called from a Vue component's "created" hook
- * It will initialise a list of properties from local storage.
- * It then sets up watchers for said properties to sync them back
- * so that next time we load, the values persist.
- *
- * Arguments:
- *   keyName: a string, used as the key in local storage
- *   syncedObject: the object whose data you want to sync (usually `this`)
- *   syncedData: an object, the keys of which set the properties to be synced
