Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository README and the Fable docs to find the appropriate documentation location. Document how to declare props for third-party React components, and clarify any relevant limitations or usage patterns for higher-order components; done means a newcomer can follow the section to use such a component.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I think one of the big advantages of using Fable and React over e.g. Elm is that it is possible to use an ocean full of ready made React components. However, it is somewhat unclear what needs to be done to declare the required props etc. to use a third party React component. It would be great if this repo in the readme or the Fable docs could have a section on how to do this.

I don't know what the potential issues are with various kinds of e.g. Higher Order Components etc but it might be worth spelling these out explicitly as well. Please let me know if there is anything I can help with in particular to bring this forward.
