Research direction

Start from the package's default export and the TypeScript type inference examples in the issue. Identify which finalized public types are currently only reachable through ReturnType or Parameters, then verify that the intended types are exported directly and can be imported by consumers.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Though it is currently possibly to determine most types from the default export...

import cliui from 'cliui';

type UI = ReturnType<typeof cliui>;
type UIOptions = Parameters<typeof cliui>[0];

...these types are rather finicky. It would be great if more finalized types were exported from this package.
