staticMethod, with or without decorator still doesn't work

Versions

• NodeJS: 10.16.0
• Typegoose(NPM): 6.0.0 (@typegoose/typegoose)
• Typegoose(GIT): commithash
• mongoose: 5.7.3

Code Example

class Post {
  @prop() _id!: string;
  @prop({ required: true, unique: true }) title!: string;
  @prop() date?: Date;
  @prop({ default: [] }) tag!: string[];
  @prop({ required: true }) content!: string;

  async findByQ(q: string, offset: number = 0, limit: number | null = 10, sort?: ISortOptions<Post>) {
    ...
    return {count, data};
  }
}

const PostModel = getModelForClass(Post);
// PostModel.findByQ = new Post().findByQ;  // TypeScript will complain findByQ is not a function, without this line.

Adding decorator @staticMethod doesn't help.

Do you know why it happens?

no

you know that you must add the word static to the function to be a static function?

static async findByQ, otherwise it is an instance method

-> if it still dosnt work, please comment / reopen

It works, but anyways, typing is wrong to suggest it, to make it seems like it is available on ReturnModelType<typeof Post, unknown>. Should only be shown on DocumentType<Post>.

i know, but without many typescript intermediate types, it is not possible, (how typescript handels some types is still not clear to me)
