Cannot find HTMLElements by class

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior

It appears that find, can’t find html elements by class like HTMLAnchorElement

Expected behavior

test("can find anchors", ()=> {
  const wrapper = mount(<div><a href="#"></a></div>);

  expect(wrapper.find('a').length).toBe(1); // passes
  expect(wrapper.childAt(0).instance()).toBeInstanceOf(HTMLAnchorElement); //passes
  expect(wrapper.find(HTMLAnchorElement).length).toBe(1); //fails
});

test("can find spans", ()=> {
  const wrapper = mount(<div><span>Test</span></div>);

  expect(wrapper.find('span').length).toBe(1); //passes
  expect(wrapper.childAt(0).instance()).toBeInstanceOf(HTMLSpanElement); //passes
  expect(wrapper.find(HTMLSpanElement).length).toBe(1); //fails
});

Ok, got it. I’m gonna write the test cases for all of them and then make a PR for you to check and provide suggestions. When those are good, I’ll work on on the feature then.
