Description
Using Typescript is great (when type declarations are shipped anyway), but it's kind of rubbish that so many of the types are just any. It would be a good idea to enable the noImplicitAny option and then fix all of the errors. For example here are the types for the main functions:
export declare function parse(code: string, options: any, delegate: any): any;
export declare function parseModule(code: string, options: any, delegate: any): any;
export declare function parseScript(code: string, options: any, delegate: any): any;
export declare function tokenize(code: string, options: any, delegate: any): any;
Not very useful!

Research direction
Start with the TypeScript declarations for parse, parseModule, parseScript, and tokenize, then enable the noImplicitAny option to enumerate the remaining errors. Review the affected types and confirm that the declarations no longer use unhelpful any types and that the project type-checks successfully.
