Description
I'm playing around with the playground and noticed that if you type your component in this way const MyComponent: React.FC<IProps> = .., react-docgen doesn't pick up the interface in IProps.


I'm curious to know if there's a specific reason for this, and if support for this might be on the roadmap.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start with the playground example using const MyComponent: React.FC<IProps> = ... and compare it with the currently recognized component form. Trace how react-docgen handles the TypeScript interface reference, then verify that the IProps interface is picked up and exposed in the generated documentation.
