SectionList - SectionSeparatorComponent

[GaelCO]

Description

When I use a SectionSeparatorComponent, I expect the separator is between each section.
But, it displays between each section, as well as between the title and the items in the section.
If I wanted this behavior, I would have added a separator in the SectionHeader.

Is this the desired behavior?
Is there a clean way to handle a separator between sections?

NB : test on android and with expo:snack

Steps to reproduce

• add a SectionList with some sections. Have a header and sub items. Use SectionSeparatorComponent.
• launch app
