Description
Hello! If I'm reading this right, I think the standalone Monaco editor ships with a hardcoded version of TypeScript, and it's a few versions out of date?
Are there any plans to bump this to the latest version? There are some newer language features we'd like to use.

Research direction
Start with src/language/typescript/lib/typescriptServicesMetadata.ts at the referenced version entry and inspect how Monaco pins or bundles TypeScript. Check the current repository instructions for dependency or generated-file updates. Done means the standalone editor uses the requested newer TypeScript version and its existing validation still passes.
