Merge TypeScript declarations into repo

First of all big kudos out for this great piece of software! I don’t know what I would do without it.

Now considering the recent growth of TypeScript usage across the JS / node eco system and the revival of static typing in general: Would you consider a PR that merges the definitely-typed TS declarations into the main repo?

Background

• It’s tricky to keep the typings package version and the actual package’s version in sync over
• Not only for TypeScript users, but also for useful hints in the IDE
• Coherence: Keep together what’s tightly coupled
• Submitting a PR to that beast of definitely typed monorepo is a nightmare
• One npm install instead of two

Let me know what you think 😃

Happy holidays!

I was specifically interested in the testing recommendations:

Maintaining types is usually doable for a maintainer that doesn’t use types day to day. But I do think having some form of testing consideration should be mandatory for including types in repos. Separate types have no implied guarantee of fitness for every version but I would be uncomfortable including source code in the repo that’s untested.
