Make path in keyof T required in SchemaDefinition if T is supplied

🚀 Feature Proposal

In

export type SchemaDefinition<T = undefined, EnforcedDocType = any> = T extends undefined
    ? { [path: string]: SchemaDefinitionProperty; }
    : { [path in keyof T]?: SchemaDefinitionProperty<T[path], EnforcedDocType>; };

instead of just forcing the possible keys (as path in keyof T), let them be required (remove ? at [path in keyof T]?:), or at least provide an option to toggle it being strict or not.

Motivation

At the moment when defining a Schema, and supplying the first generic to it (RawDocType), it doesn't complain if I miss some keys from the defined type, which is not ideal.

Example

type Item = {
  _id: string;
  name: string;
}

// complains as expected because foo is not in Item
new Schema<Item>({
  _id: String,
  foo: Number
})

// doesn't complain as expected because schema matches type
new Schema<Item>({
  _id: String,
  name: String
})

// doesn't complain, but it should because required property name is not defined
new Schema<Item>({
  _id: String,
})

This is expected behavior because name can be added via a plugin or Schema.prototype.add() later.

The big issue with making this change would be timestamps:

type Item = {
  _id: string;
  createdAt: Date;
  updatedAt: Date
}

// Valid, schema gets `createdAt` and `updatedAt` properties from `timestamps`
new Schema<Item>({
  _id: String
}, { timestamps: true })

Any suggestions for how to make this work better with TypeScript?

I'm going to close this one for now since we can't implement it without significant breaking changes and some answers about how to handle timestamps, plugins, etc.
