Description
TypeScript Version: 3.2.0-dev.201xxxxx
Search Terms:
USVString
Code
function example(uri: USVString) {
// Do some work
}
Expected behavior:
Until typescript version 3.0.3 USVString used to be an existing type defined in lib.dom.d.ts
in version 3.1, according to the breaking changes page, some vendor-specific types are removed from lib.d.ts, a full list of removed types is included.
USVString is not on that list, yet it's type definition was also removed.
USVString is defined under webIDL, as can be seen here.
Actual behavior:
error TS2304: Cannot find name 'USVString'.

Research direction
Start with the lib.dom.d.ts changes between TypeScript 3.0.3 and 3.1, then compare them with the TypeScript 3.1 breaking-changes list and the WebIDL definition linked in the issue. Verify the intended handling of a function parameter typed as USVString and confirm that the resulting declaration no longer produces TS2304.
