Description
First I've thought about union types but they can solve only part of the problem. Original discussion started here. In case codeplex had been abandoned, I copy my question here.
Please take a look at this function. https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge/blob/master/js/rsa.js#L802-L885 As you can see from comments there are a lot of ways to use it. If I need to make a type definitions for it (actually I do) with JSDoc Intellisense support, then I have to copy general function description like 10 times. This will make my definition 3 times longer than source function and also very hard to modify. In libraries like forge almost all functions have being made that way.
Can you give me some tip about making definitions in such circumstances?
