Research direction

Start by reproducing the two JSDoc examples in the TypeScript repository and trace the JSDoc type parsing entry point that handles Object.<string,number> and object.<string,number>. Compare the behavior with the eslint-plugin-jsdoc guidance linked in the issue; done means the lowercase form is accepted consistently with the uppercase form and the relevant regression coverage passes.
