Description

If you pass children with prop title inside Swiper you will get this error Text strings must be rendered within a <Text> component. That because of this terrible line of code https://github.com/leecade/react-native-swiper/blob/master/src/index.js#L702

It is just so wrong solution to reserve prop title for a package assuming that people are not using prop title in items that they pass to to the package, because this is very common property name to use.

I face this crash once a half of year and every time forget about this terribly written line of code. Leaving this issue here in case I forget again, of anyone else face it

Research direction
