Question: What is the point of the `typescript` option?

See original GitHub issue

This says that if the option isn’t set, the plugin will automatically set it to require('typescript').

https://github.com/ezolenko/rollup-plugin-typescript2/blob/5ce7676ad0451df81e61190d42694f97085111fc/src/index.ts#L72-L74

I’m wondering why you would ever want to manually set the typescript option to require('typescript') then. Wouldn’t calling require('typescript') in rollup.config.js always give the same answer as require('typescript') in the plugin?

You might want to use multiple versions of typescript for example, or have it in a non-standard place.

You can also use this for alternative TS implementations, such as ttypescript, for instance for the purpose of #201 or something else.
