component type mutated after HOC

[oreporan]

I have a case where I need to iterate over the children of a component and change them based on if their type == a specific type.

So image <TabPanel> which iterates on its children to look for <Tab>
This works so long as <Tab> is directly under <TabPanel>
but if someone takes <Tab> and mutates it using any HOC, the type is no long <Tab> when I iterate over it using:

  const children = React.Children.map(childComponents, (child: React.ReactElement<Tab>) => {
   if (child.type && child.type === Tab) { // After HOC, no longer a tab
                return React.cloneElement(child, {
                    disabled,
                    size,
                });
        });

Is there anyway to tell compose to keep the old type? or extend it?
