"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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Open lib.es5.d.ts, find the RegExp.lastIndex property (around line 944), and add a JSDoc comment above it following the same style as other properties. Use the MDN documentation as reference.
