Summary	0019015: Introduce TypeScript documentation modules (*.d.ts) to assist addon developers
Description	Adding TypeScript documentation modules will help developers because modern web IDEs can utilize them to add IntelliSense/code completion. We can add a "typescript" folder to the MM5 install root which includes all the .d.ts files for controls, window, and native objects. It'll be a long task to complete but probably worth it in the end.
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build

For example, doing setVisibility() on a childNode could possibly return an error if the childNode is actually just a text node.
