Description
I tried to use generics with webpack and while I have no problems in my current Vite project I have no clue how to make it working with webpack.
I always receive TS2304: Cannot find name 'T'.
For example
<script setup lang="ts" generic="T extends string">
interface Props {
modelValue: T;
}
const props = defineProps<Props>();
</script>
<template>{{ modelValue }}</template>
Is there a way to enable generics with this TS Loader and webpack 5? I created a minimal repo here

Expected Behaviour
- Vue generics should work
Actual Behaviour
- Vue generics won't work -> see error above
Steps to Reproduce the Problem
- create a Vue component and try to use generics with webpack

Research direction
Start with the linked CodeSandbox minimal repository and reproduce the TS2304 error using the shown Vue component and webpack 5 setup. Trace how ts-loader processes the component's generic script syntax and determine whether the issue is configuration or unsupported handling; done means the repository's expected generic usage works or the limitation is clearly documented.
