Description

The idea is that children is just a prop. In the jsx-ppx the children type is fixed, which is fine for normal elements, but it allows less flexibility for custom components.

Research direction

Start by locating the jsx-ppx implementation and its handling of the children prop. Check how children types are fixed for normal elements and compare that behavior with custom components. Done means custom components can use a more flexible children type without breaking normal JSX elements; no specific test file is mentioned.
