Research direction

Review the repository history and any existing documentation for the rationale behind the methods not being exposed upstream. Find the relevant discussions or TypeScript team positions, then document those references and the stated long-term goal of avoiding a maintained fork.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For someone who haven't followed the history of tsd it would be neat to have it documented here why these methods hasn't been exposed upstream – if there's eg. an opposition from the TypeScript team to them or if there's something else blocking it.

I guess long term goal is to not have to maintain a fork like this?

(Also: Sorry for jumping on here with an issue this quickly, I understand it might be premature, not trying to stress you out or anything, just want to be helpful 🙂)
