git clone, make sure TypeScript is installed, and open src/index.ts Would be nice if this was exported to some TypeScript playground environment.
Easiest is to just press `.` on the GitHub repo to open the GH dev environment
wtf! I had no idea this existed!

I made a PR to add this link to the readme.

`noErrorTruncation: true` in a tsconfig.[1] It also affects hover and quickinfo truncation. Technically it will still truncate, just at a way higher limit, like a million characters.

#17This is neat. Can someone explain why the generic types extending string need to default to any in all these cases, like: `TDescription extends string = any` ?
It’s just so I can later reuse that type without having to pass in the generic. Like I do on lines 41 and 42

#18An interesting tidbit that I found in the source code is that it only accepts integers from 1 to 20. Perfectly sufficient for its use case, although not quite extendable as I would hope

I'm really surprised I've never even discovered that accidentally. If nothing else, this is a vastly superior way to search a repository.
