Research direction

Start with the linked react-docgen-typescript parser.ts implementation and its src/tests/data collection of valid TypeScript React component cases. Compare those cases with react-docgen's parser and tests to identify the missing complex union and intersection handling. Done means these prop types are extracted correctly without regressing existing cases.
