Use the width of a type to add newlines in type assignment error messages

Today we ship a one-type-fits-all style for printing type is not assignable to type messages. We'd like to improve this in a pretty simple manner: by occasionally adding newlines. For example with this arbitrary comparison:

let a = { b: { c: { e: { f: 123 } } } };
let b = { b: { c: { e: { f: "123" } } } };
a = b;

Looks like this today:

src/vendor/ata/index.ts(12,1): error TS2322: Type '{ b: { c: { e: { f: string; }; }; }; }' is not assignable to type '{ b: { c: { e: { f: number; }; }; }; }'.
The types of 'b.c.e.f' are incompatible between these types.
    Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'number'.

I propose that because both of the printed types are longer than 20-30 chars, then we switch to:

src/vendor/ata/index.ts(12,1): error TS2322: Type: 
{ b: { c: { e: { f: string; }; }; }; }

is not assignable to type:
{ b: { c: { e: { f: number; }; }; }; }

The types of 'b.c.e.f' are incompatible between these types.
    Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'number'.

Key details

• Strip the quotes around the type
• Add colons and newlines if the type is over a certain size. Let's call it 30 characters for now, and make it easy to change and we can experiment at the final stages of review.

Some Examples

No changes

let a = 123
let b = "abc"
a = b

• Before: src/index.ts(21,1): error TS2322: Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'number'.
• After: src/index.ts(21,1): error TS2322: Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'number'.

No change! (Though a part of me does really want to drop the quotes for primitives)

window = {}

Type '{}' is not assignable to type 'Window & typeof globalThis'.
  Type '{}' is missing the following properties from type 'Window': clientInformation, closed, customElements, devicePixelRatio, and 189 more. (2322)

No change! {} and Window & typeof globalThis are too small.

Changing one

window = addEventListener

src/index.ts(1,1): error TS2322: Type '{ <K extends keyof WindowEventMap>(type: K, listener: (this: Window, ev: WindowEventMap[K]) => any, options?: boolean | AddEventListenerOptions | undefined): void; (type: string, listener: EventListenerOrEventListenerObject, options?: boolean | ... 1 more ... | undefined): void; }' is not assignable to type 'Window & typeof globalThis'.
   Type '{ <K extends keyof WindowEventMap>(type: K, listener: (this: Window, ev: WindowEventMap[K]) => any, options?: boolean | AddEventListenerOptions | undefined): void; (type: string, listener: EventListenerOrEventListenerObject, options?: boolean | ... 1 more ... | undefined): void; }' is missing the following properties from type 'Window': HTMLDocument, closed, customElements, devicePixelRatio, and 187 more.

src/vendor/ata/index.ts(12,1): error TS2322: Type: 
{ <K extends keyof WindowEventMap>(type: K, listener: (this: Window, ev: WindowEventMap[K]) => any, options?: boolean | AddEventListenerOptions | undefined): void; (type: string, listener: EventListenerOrEventListenerObject, options?: boolean | ... 1 more ... | undefined): void; }

is not assignable to type:
Window & typeof globalThis

  Type '{ <K extends keyof WindowEventMap>(type: K, listener: (this: Window, ev: WindowEventMap[K]) => any, options?: boolean | AddEventListenerOptions | undefined): void; (type: string, listener: EventListenerOrEventListenerObject, options?: boolean | ... 1 more ... | undefined): void; }' is missing the following properties from type 'Window': HTMLDocument, closed, customElements, devicePixelRatio, and 187 more.

Changing both

Animation = AnalyserNode

index.ts(12,1) Type '{ new (context: BaseAudioContext, options?: AnalyserOptions | undefined): AnalyserNode; prototype: AnalyserNode; }' is not assignable to type '{ new (effect?: AnimationEffect | null | undefined, timeline?: AnimationTimeline | null | undefined): Animation; prototype: Animation; }'.
  Types of property 'prototype' are incompatible.
    Type 'AnalyserNode' is missing the following properties from type 'Animation': currentTime, effect, finished, id, and 18 more.

index.ts(12,1) Type:
{ new (context: BaseAudioContext, options?: AnalyserOptions | undefined): AnalyserNode; prototype: AnalyserNode; }

is not assignable to type:
{ new (effect?: AnimationEffect | null | undefined, timeline?: AnimationTimeline | null | undefined): Animation; prototype: Animation; }

  Types of property 'prototype' are incompatible.
    Type 'AnalyserNode' is missing the following properties from type 'Animation': currentTime, effect, finished, id, and 18 more.

この issue には型代入の診断例が示され、30 文字の設定可能なしきい値が提案されていますが、ファイルやテストは指定されていません。まず、TS2322 メッセージをフォーマットするコンパイラのエントリーポイントを見つけてください。長い型のテキストが要求されたコロンと改行で分割され、短い例が変更されない状態になれば完了です。
