Error type is unknown, not Error?

[OliverJAsh]

In the types, the error is typed as Error. However, in JS any type can be thrown, e.g. throw "foo";.

Should we correct the type of the error to unknown (in TypeScript terms), or is there something that converts it to an Error?

[bvaughn]

Yeah, seems reasonable.

[OliverJAsh]

I'm not familiar with Flow so I'm not quite sure what the equivalent to TypeScript's unknown type is?

[bvaughn]

Either any or mixed should be okay for this case.

Closing all old issues as we're making significant changes. Please open a new issue if this is still a problem you'd like to have fixed.

@OliverJAsh This should have been fixed in version >= 3.1.3
