In case anyone is interested, I published this as [`@holdyourwaffle/portal-vue`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@holdyourwaffle/portal-vue) while awaiting this PR.

I'm not sure I completely understand what @mo is suggesting here, but wouldn't an implementation of #91 fix the inefficiency problem? I haven't used the JSON column type yet since...

> Are there any best-practices from TypeScript-land for testing / validating the type definitions (e.g for completeness and/or correctness)? I don't know of any, but I'm sure projects like [DefinitelyTyped](https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped)...

To make sure these definitions stay compatibly with `express-session` we should probably wait until [express-session/#656](https://github.com/expressjs/session/pull/656) (new definitions) is either merged or rejected. If it's merged I'll make this definition compatible...

Just to give a little status update, more than a year later this still hasn't been resolved. I have just created a [second-attempt PR](https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/46576) over at DT, hoping to finally...

 https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/46576 has finally been merged! There have been some major changes (read: improvements) so these definitions most likely are not 100% compatible. I'll try to update...

I'm currently working on an implementation of `refObject` for `@Query` (and possibly `@Header` too) by "flattening" the properties as individual parameters and reassembling them at the server. I have a...
