Make MDC Web's TypeScript code work without noStrictGenericChecks: true

[kfranqueiro]

While reviewing #4481 this morning, I finally realized what was preventing us from seeing the errors James encountered in #4463.

noStrictGenericChecks: true is one of the tsconfig settings we inherited while trying to mirror our internal tsconfig as closely as possible. If I remove that setting, we see errors very similar to, if not exactly like, what James was seeing. For example:

James has some suggestions on how to fix this, but I'm wondering if we can fix it without needing to e.g. make adapter_ public on foundations...

One thing to consider instead of passing {} into MDCFoundation<{}> is to pass in a generic instead. Of course there is always the gross escape hatch of MDCFoundation<any> which may or may not matter since you would just be saying its a foundation that accepts anything as an adapter

Hello, gentle Bump on this issue

Even though the tsconfig parameter noStrictGenericChecks is set to true:

"compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es6",
    "module": "es2015",
    "lib": [ "es6", "dom" ],
    "allowJs": true,
    "noStrictGenericChecks": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true, /* Allow default imports from modules with no default export. This does not affect code emit, just typechecking. */
    "esModuleInterop": true, /* Enables emit interoperability between CommonJS and ES Modules via creation of namespace objects for all imports. Implies 'allowSyntheticDefaultImports'. */
    "jsx": "react",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "strict": true,
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "types": [ "webpack-env" ]
  }

In the meantime I am using an old version( 0.39.1)

Is there any workaround for this issue yet ? Setting "noStrictGenericChecks" to true does not work for me. I'm using version 0.44.1 in my Angular/TypeScript project for now as it's the last version that does not have this issue.
