`React$ElementRef<T>` is the type of the ref _instance_ for a component of type T, whereas `React$Ref<T>` is the type of the ref _prop_ for a component of type T, which seems to be the intended type here.

React$ElementRef<T>is the type of the ref instance for a component of typeT, whereasReact$Ref<T>is the type of the ref prop for a component of typeT, which seems to be the intended type here.As a side note,
React$Ref<T>also encompasses string refs, which (unsurprisingly) don't seem to actually work withforwardRef. Not sure if we care that much, because presumably refs are intended to be pretty opaque in this context?
