"lastIndex"

Suggestion

RegExp.lastIndex should have a doc comment - you can see it lacks one here: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/blob/7fc456f2d70348725bbef92732b98a33c07f85ad/lib/lib.es5.d.ts#L944

MDN doc for the property can be found here.

Research direction
The issue asks for adding a doc comment to `RegExp.lastIndex` in `lib.es5.d.ts` at line 944. The contributor should open the file, find the declaration, and add a JSDoc comment following the format of other properties in the same file. The MDN documentation linked provides the necessary description.
