Allow custom ways to dynamically infer function return types

[ronami]

Hey,

I'm using monaco-editor to create my own custom IDE. I know typescriptServices is running in a web worker and provides intellisense. I want to be able to tell the intellisense engine to behave differently on some occasions. Something equivalent to Tern's server plugin's: infer.registerFunction.

My specific use-case is that I have a function that accepts a string and returns different types based on that string. I want to be able to tell the the intellisense engine, at runtime, that the return value for $('button1') is of type button.

Is there an API for this? Any workaround?

Thanks!

Looks like the same request as in #3136
