No install @types packages of devDependencies (Like the `flow-typed --ignoredeps-deps dev`)

See original GitHub issue

Thank you for this very useful tool!

Can I NOT install devDependencies’s @types/* ? Like the flow-typed --ignoredeps-deps dev. https://github.com/flow-typed/flow-typed/tree/72d88e1dffd146f2f6fc1424bd7c9d991632cd3f#flow-typed-install-package-specification---ignoredeps-deps

For example

I don’t want to install these.

  "devDependencies": {
    "eslint-config-prettier": "6.0.0",
    "prettier": "1.18.2"
  },

Reasons

I don’t want to increase the number of managed packages.
Packages of devDependencies are not used in product code.
- Because those @types/* are unnecessary.
(Maybe a little) These increase npm install time.

Gotcha! I’m a bit swamped right now so not sure when I’ll get to it.

I think this flag is like:

--ignoredeps deps ignore dependencies, prod dependencies --ignoredeps devdeps ignore dependencies, dev dependcies

i.e. ignoredeps is short for ignore dependencies and value shows which type (prod, dev, peer etc) of dependencies to ignore
