Research direction

Start with the linked TypeScript wiki section, “Using the type checker,” and reproduce the example with TypeScript 3.4. Identify which part no longer works, then update the tutorial so its example is usable with the stated compiler API version. Done means the documented example works or the required version is clearly specified.
