Description

I've been using this for development with Rhino (JS engine in Java) which provides access to Java libraries.

I had to manually hack the output somewhat (there's no concept of Native.Array for example)

It would be great if there was an option to make the generator produce more "vanilla" Typescript definitions. Any chance?

I can possibly help with the implementation.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the generator entry points and its current Android-specific output mappings. Compare the generated declarations with the vanilla TypeScript definitions needed for Rhino and define how an option should produce them without Android-only types such as Native.Array; done means generic non-Android output is generated consistently.
