Allow usage of ref on custom components
See original GitHub issueReact 16.3 introduced the concept of forwarding refs as a first-class citizen. We can remove the usage of innerRef and just use the regular ref prop. We can make this backwards compatible by using innerRef if it exists however we shouldn’t throw if a custom component doesn’t have innerRef - ref can work just fine.
This library currently breaks with styled-components@4 due to this issue.

Somehow I’ve made a mistake and was calling isForwardRef with wrong argument, I’ve prepared a PR with a fix for this just now.
It was a pain getting the tests working and I ran out of time working on it. I forked it and fixed it at
@clayne/react-waypointbut the tests are failing so I never submitted a PR.My company Casalova is using it in production and everything works.
