Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the @angular/fire/firestore collection entry point and inspect how its return type is declared. Compare it with the documented collection(firestore, 'foo') usage, then check how the resulting type is passed to update and doc. Done means collection accepts the generic type and preserves it for those calls.
