Research direction

Review the dependency relationship between tslib and tsc, starting with their package metadata and the installation behavior described in the issue. Determine whether co-distribution or a peer dependency is the requested change, then document the resulting decision and behavior.

Description

question

It was a surprise for me I was using tslib indirectly, due to an dependency of another package. When I removed this package, the compilation ceased to build my solution and it took me some time to understand what was going on.

I would expect tslib to be installed together with tsc. On the case this separation makes sense, though, I think tsc could declare it as a peerDependencies, so this would be clearer.
