Please fill in this template.

• Use a meaningful title for the pull request. Include the name of the package modified.
• Test the change in your own code. (Compile and run.)
• Add or edit tests to reflect the change. (Run with npm test.)
• Follow the advice from the readme.
• Avoid common mistakes.
• Run npm run lint package-name (or tsc if no tslint.json is present).

Select one of these and delete the others:

If adding a new definition:

• The package does not already provide its own types, or cannot have its .d.ts files generated via --declaration
• If this is for an NPM package, match the name. If not, do not conflict with the name of an NPM package.
• Create it with dts-gen --dt, not by basing it on an existing project.
• Represents shape of module/library correctly
• tslint.json should be present and it shouldn't have any additional or disabling of rules. Just content as { "extends": "dtslint/dt.json" }. If for reason the some rule need to be disabled, disable it for that line using // tslint:disable-next-line [ruleName] and not for whole package so that the need for disabling can be reviewed.
• tsconfig.json should have noImplicitAny, noImplicitThis, strictNullChecks, and strictFunctionTypes set to true.

If changing an existing definition:

• Provide a URL to documentation or source code which provides context for the suggested changes: https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid/blob/master/src/validate.js
• If this PR brings the type definitions up to date with a new version of the JS library, update the version number in the header.
• Include tests for your changes
• If you are making substantial changes, consider adding a tslint.json containing { "extends": "dtslint/dt.json" }. If for reason the any rule need to be disabled, disable it for that line using // tslint:disable-next-line [ruleName] and not for whole package so that the need for disabling can be reviewed.

If removing a declaration:

• If a package was never on Definitely Typed, you don't need to do anything. (If you wrote a package and provided types, you don't need to register it with us.)
• Delete the package's directory.
• Add it to notNeededPackages.json.

👋 Hi there! I’ve run some quick measurements against master and your PR. These metrics should help the humans reviewing this PR gauge whether it might negatively affect compile times or editor responsiveness for users who install these typings.

Let’s review the numbers, shall we?

Comparison details 📊

	master	#46557	diff
Batch compilation
Memory usage (MiB)	62.0	63.8	+2.9%
Type count	9022	9025	0%
Assignability cache size	1649	1649	0%
Language service
Samples taken	122	126	+3%
Identifiers in tests	122	126	+3%
getCompletionsAtPosition
Mean duration (ms)	312.7	310.9	-0.6%
Mean CV	11.2%	11.3%
Worst duration (ms)	367.8	381.5	+3.7%
Worst identifier	bufferv1	alloc
getQuickInfoAtPosition
Mean duration (ms)	310.5	306.6	-1.3%
Mean CV	11.3%	11.1%	-1.7%
Worst duration (ms)	400.8	369.5	-7.8%
Worst identifier	c5	Buffer

It looks like nothing changed too much. I won’t post performance data again unless it gets worse.

@rbuckton it’s a bit unfortunate that this one got merged while #46395 still sits there unmerged. Could you have a look at the other (more complete) OR as well?
