`React.forwardRef` broken in v12

[cknitt]

This compiles fine in v11 (Playground):

@react.component
let make = React.forwardRef((~className=?, ~children, ref) =>
  <div>
    <input
      type_="text"
      ?className
      ref=?{ref->Nullable.toOption->Option.map(ReactDOM.Ref.domRef)}
    />
    children
  </div>
)

but gives the following error message without LoC in v12 (Playground):

[E] Line 1, column -1:
This function call is incorrect.
  The function has type:
  (
  props<string, React.element, ReactDOM.Ref.currentDomRef>,
  Js.Nullable.t<ReactDOM.Ref.currentDomRef>,
) => Jsx.element
  
  It is called with 2 argument just but requiress 1.

Seems this broke in alpha.6.

That part of the transform has always been hairy.
How about removing it entirely.

could be an alternative here.

The replacement for forwardRef is available in React 19+ which is very recent, so we'll need to keep the transform (or some other way of using forwardRef) around for a long time probably.
