 React state hook that tracks a numeric value.
 
+`useNumber` is an alias for `useCounter`.
+
 
 ## Usage
 
 ```jsx
-import {useCounter} from 'react-use';
+import {useCounter, useNumber} from 'react-use';
 
 const Demo = () => {
-  const [value, inc, set] = useCounter();
+  const [value, {inc, dec, get, set, reset}] = useCounter(5);
 
   return (
     <div>
-      <div>{value}</div>
+      <div>{value} is {get()}</div>
       <button onClick={() => inc()}>Increment</button>
+      <button onClick={() => dec()}>Decrement</button>
+      <button onClick={() => inc(5)}>Increment (+5)</button>
+      <button onClick={() => dec(5)}>Decrement (-5)</button>
       <button onClick={() => set(100)}>Set 100</button>
+      <button onClick={() => reset()}>Reset</button>
+      <button onClick={() => reset(25)}>Reset (25)</button>
