Bug Report Checklist

[X] I have pulled the latest main branch of the repository.
[X] I have searched for related issues and found none that matched my issue.

Overview

Essentially adds the typeMatchesSpecifier function from ts-declaration-location.

This function is only for testing where a type is defined, not filtering the type based on its name or anything else. That could be new functionality in the future.

Additional Info

No response

It's an interesting idea! My personal inclination is that this should be a separate package. ts-api-utils is a lot of very generalized utilities. typesMatchesSpecifier is a pretty specific format that's also still relatively new in usage. Having the separate ts-declaration-location be able to iterate on its own feels right to me. Just my two cents 😄 putting into discussion.

Yeah that makes sense. I'm perfectly happy to continue with it in its own repo.
