[Question] What does typesPatches do in tsconfig.json?

Just curious what this line does -- I've never seen it before in a project.

This was left over from when I originally created this module. It was a place we stored .d.ts files for modules that either didn't have them, were out of data, or were wrong. It should really be removed now. Hope this helps!

I'm still seeing it in https://github.com/wmonk/create-react-app-typescript/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/tsconfig.json and in new projects generated when I run create-react-app my-app --scripts-version=react-scripts-ts.

When you say "it should really be removed now," is that describing current state, or something to do in the future?

Would you accept a PR removing this line?

Thanks!

@js-n I would happily accept a PR for it! 👍
