Oh, it is much worse than that. By classic default it is:

    React.createElement('div', { /* props and attributes ... */ },
      React.createElement('strong', { /* ... */ }, text))

Recent updates and other JSX frameworks simplified the name of `React.createElement` to just `jsx` or `h`. I've seen projects that manually write `h` calls like that everywhere, and it is indeed terrible.
