autoFocus and initialFocus

[matthewoates]

You get autoFocus for free. My understanding is that whenever a focusable element with autoFocus is added by react, it automatically gets focused.

autoFocus doesn't work right now with focus-trap-react.

• If initialFocus is unspecified, it ignores any autoFocus elements and focuses the first element.
• If you pass a selector that matches no elements, focus-trap-react throws an error and breaks the component.
• If you pass a valid selector, then you're not taking advantage of the convenience and simplicity of autoFocus in the first place

Makes sense. I'd say that "the convenience and simplicity of autoFocus" is really not significantly greater than typing a valid selector for the component you want to focus — but if that's how you like to do it, I understand. Open to a PR making this autoFocus-compatible.

@matthewoates With the latest update to focus-trap, autoFocus does in fact work. I added a demo showing this and a note to the README explaining the one caveat I've seen.
