Description

The following .res file:

type props = {children: React.element}

@module("@mui/material/styles")
external make: React.component<props> = "StyledEngineProvider"

yields me the following interface

@react.component
external make: (~children: React.element) => React.element =
  "StyledEngineProvider" "#rescript-external"

but it should be identical to the .res file, since it's only using external.

Research direction

Start with the Create interface command and reproduce the behavior using the .res example in the issue. Compare the generated interface with the source external declaration; done means the command preserves the external declaration rather than adding the shown React component annotation and extra external string.
