recast.parse returns any

I'd like to use this library via Typescript but the top-level [parse](https://github.com/benjamn/recast/blob/master/lib/parser.ts#L124) function [returns any](https://github.com/benjamn/recast/blob/master/lib/parser.ts#L134), meaning I need to do at least one cast to start using the type system. What is the suggested way of getting typed values out of recast?

Thanks

Start with the top-level parse function in lib/parser.ts, especially the linked definition and return type around lines 124 and 134. Investigate how callers are expected to obtain typed values from recast, then verify that the resulting TypeScript API supports use without an initial cast.
