Description

Expected: properties of Oidc.UserManager are offered
Actual: identifiers appearing in file are offered (i.e. min-bar experience).

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with oidc-client.js from the linked npm package, instantiate Oidc.UserManager, and inspect completions after dotting into the resulting object. Compare the offered identifiers with the expected UserManager properties; done means the relevant properties are offered even when the UMD module has no typings.
