      A lot of typescript features tighten the type check. All of these errors would require major bump according to semver

      It’s funny that every time this comes up there is a new host of people surprised. Yet the ecosystem just keeps inefficiently chugging along as if all of this is predetermined destiny we cannot change. All hail Microsoft, the owner of our entire developer platform and shaper of our destiny.

   This may be what I'm trying to fix just now. Just moved to 5.7.3 and working stuff broke.

   I don't like to write plain JS, but JESUS the TypeScript ecosystem is insane. I wish it was easier to write JSDoc to get some sort of type info, but TS just makes it easier to write
