[feature request] Remove @types packages for packages already including types.

See original GitHub issue

Lot of packages are starting to include their own types, making the @types typings unnecessary for those packages.

TypeScript will ignore the @types typings if a package includes types, but I don’t know of an automated way to figure out which @types typings are no longer necessary and remove them.

Perhaps this project could handle cleaning up the redundant/outdated @types packages?

That would be a bad idea, because sometimes the typings from DT are more correct than the ones shipping with the package. Jest is one of those.
