How should we include addons in typings?

There are two ways, or we could do both:

1. Give typings for all addons on Terminal before they are loaded such that completions work for this:

   term.findNext('foo');
   

   We would need to warn in the jsdoc about needing to call loadAddon first for this.

2. Give typings only for the object returned by loadAddon:

   const searchAddon = Terminal.loadAddon('search');
   searchAddon.findNext('foo');
   

Or both?

What if we:

1. Implement typings for each add-on
2. Ditch loadAddon, in favor of standard import mechanisms
3. Expose each add-on’s API as a component in Terminal (e.g. term.attach, term.search etc.)

Or is this too “loose” for TypeScript?
