recast.parse returns any

[realdoug]

I'd like to use this library via Typescript but the top-level parse function returns any, meaning I need to do at least one cast to start using the type system. What is the suggested way of getting typed values out of recast?

Thanks

The types could certainly be improved. Personally, I would try not to use any at all. The type of copy should probably be copy<T>(node: T): T at minimum, perhaps even with a type constraint T extends … to restrict it to some sort of basic Node type. Part of the problem is that recast supports lots of different parsers with slightly different AST formats.
