Argument of type 'Column<DataType>' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Column<unknown>'.

Hi. I get a type error on all column modifiers (e.g. resizeHandle) Argument of type 'Column<DataType>' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Column<unknown>'.

Argument of type 'Column<DataType>' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Column<unknown>'.

It seems like the Column modifiers does not pass on the types of the Column, and instead always assigns the default Column<T = unknown>:

See example of steps to reproduce with resizeHandle:

import Component from '@glimmer/component'
import { headlessTable }  from 'ember-headless-table'
import { ColumnResizing, resizeHandle } from 'ember-headless-table/plugins/column-resizing'

interface ColumnType {
  name: string;
  key: keyof DataType;
}

interface DataType {
  firstName: string;
  lastName: string;
}

export default class HeadlesseTableExample extends Component {

  get columns() : ColumnType[] {
    return [ {name: 'First Name', key: 'firstName'}, {name: 'Last Name', key: 'lastName'}]
  }

  get rows() : DataType[] {
    return [{firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe'}]
  }

  table = headlessTable(this, {
    columns: () => this.columns,
    data: () => this.rows,
    plugins: [ ColumnResizing ],
  });

    <div {{this.table.modifiers.container}}>
      <table class='border-b w-full' {{this.table.modifiers.container}}>
        <thead>
          <tr>
            {{#each this.table.columns as |column|}}
              <th {{this.table.modifiers.columnHeader column}}>
                {{!--column errors here--}}
                <button {{resizeHandle column}}> 
                  ↔
                </button>
              </th>
            {{/each}}
          </tr>
        </thead>
