[@types/mongodb] collection.estimatedDocumentCount signature is invalid

[gempain]

• I tried using the @types/xxxx package and had problems.
• I tried using the latest stable version of tsc. https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript
• I have a question that is inappropriate for StackOverflow. (Please ask any appropriate questions there).
• Mention the authors (see Definitions by: in index.d.ts) so they can respond.

The official docs mention that:

db.collection.estimatedDocumentCount() does not take a query filter and instead uses metadata to return the count for a collection.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the signature should only take the options. Using query filters with this method will lead to incorrect results:

await collection.insertOne({
  name: 'foo',
  children: [
    { name: 'bar' },
  ],
});

const query = {
  name: 'huh',
};

console.log('estimatedCount', await collection.estimatedDocumentCount(query));
console.log('count', await collection.countDocuments(query));

will print

estimatedCount 1
count 0
