 - If you need to use `children` property inside the function body, in the former case it has to be added explicitly. `FunctionComponent<T>` already includes the correctly typed `children` property which then doesn't have to become part of your type.
 - Typing your function explicitly will also give you typechecking and autocomplete on its static properties, like `displayName`, `propTypes`, and `defaultProps`.
 - _In future_, it will also set `readonly` on your props just like `React.Component<T>` does.
+- HOWEVER, there are currently known issues using `defaultProps` with `React.FunctionComponent`. See [this issue for details](https://github.com/sw-yx/react-typescript-cheatsheet/issues/87) - scroll down to our `defaultProps` section for typing recommendations there.

 ## Typing defaultProps
 
-For Typescript 3.0+, type inference [should work](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-3-0.html), although [some edge cases are still problematic](https://github.com/sw-yx/react-typescript-cheatsheet/issues/61). Just type your props like normal.
