feat: Support enhancing React component serializer

snapshot-diff provides a convenience serializer for React components
which renders them and serializes them before diffing. Support is
already in place for allowing custom serializers to be added which will
work at the root level; serializing unknown types (e.g. React component
rendered with Enzyme).

However, there is no ability to update the serializers used within the
React component serializer. The use case for this need to when a
CSS-in-JS solution, such as Emotion, is used and custom serilization
is required to support outputting the styles attached. Emotion provides
this serializer, but adding at the root level then only outputs the
styles and does not output the component.

To support this, the same `defaultSerializers` and `setSerializers` API
as provided by `snapshot-diff` for adding root level serializers has
been applied to the React component serializer to allow
"sub-serializers" to be added which will then be passed into
`pretty-format`. This then provides an API which will allow the Emotion
serializer to work as expected with the rest of the React component
serialization process.

+ℹ️ **Note:** Serializers are independent; once a serializer is matched no further serializers will be run for that
+input. This would be expected when adding a different serializer for React components (e.g. enzyme's serializer instead
+of the built in React component serializer) or adding a new serializer for unsupported data types. It may not be as
+expected when you need serializers to work together (e.g. rendering a React component which makes use of CSS-in-JS, like
+Emotion). If you need a serializer to work with the existing React component serializer, see the "_Enhancing the React
+component serializer_" section below.

 ### Adding a new custom serializer
 
 ```js
 const snapshotDiff = require('snapshot-diff');
 const myCustomSerializer = require('./my-custom-serializer');
 
 snapshotDiff.setSerializers([
- ...snapshotDiff.defaultSerializers, // use default React serializer - add this if you want to serialise React components!
+ // Use the default React component serializer. Don't forget to add this if you
+ ...snapshotDiff.defaultSerializers, // want to continue to serialize React components
  myCustomSerializer
 ]);
 ```
 
 ### Serializing React components with a different serializer

 ```
 
+## Enhancing the React component serializer
+
+`snapshot-diff` uses a built in React component serializer based on `react-test-renderer`. Internally, this makes use of
+the default Jest serializers which are passed to `pretty-format`. However, you may wish to use a different configuration
+of internal serializers when serializing a React component, e.g. Adding a new internal serializer to deal with using a
+CSS-in-JS solution, such as Emotion.
+
+The React component serializer is exposed at `snapshotDiff.reactSerializer`
+
+The API for adding new internal serializers to the React component serializer is similar to how top level serializers
+are added to `snapshot-diff`. The React component serializer has a `setSerializers` function which can be used to
+change the internal serializers used for serializing a React component. If you want to keep using the default internal
+serializers, don't forget to add them too!
+
+ℹ️ **Note:** Internal serializers added to the React component serializer are only used by the React component
+serializer. i.e.
+ - `snapshotDiff.setSerializers` is **not** the same as `snapshotDiff.reactSerializer.setSerializers`
+ - `snapshotDiff.defaultSerializers` is **not** the same as `snapshotDiff.reactSerializer.defaultSerializers`
+
+### Adding a new serializer
+
+```js
+const snapshotDiff = require('snapshot-diff');
+const emotionSerializer = require('jest-emotion');
+
+snapshotDiff.reactSerializer.setSerializers([
+ emotionSerializer,
+ ...snapshotDiff.reactSerializer.defaultSerializers
+]);
+```
+
 ## Snapshot serializer
 
 By default Jest adds extra quotes around strings so it makes diff snapshots of objects too noisy.
