`linkify-element` 4.0.0-beta.3 missing type for `Options`

[jryans]

When using linkify-element 4.0.0-beta.3, it seems the bundled type definitions in the package don't provide a type for the Options arg of linkifyElementHelper:

node_modules/linkify-element/index.d.ts:24:67 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Options'.

24 declare function linkifyElementHelper(element: HTMLElement, opts: Options, doc: Document): HTMLElement;

One possible fix would be to use something like:

@param {import("linkifyjs").Options} opts

I tried this locally, and this works for me:

 const Linkify = (props) => {

Well, "works" might be an overstatement, now that I try to actually use it. I think this might make tsc hang.

Hi @jryans and @Pike, thank you both looking into this! I released v4.0.0-beta.4 some type improvements that should address this.

Thanks for the quick fix! I can confirm the types are now working well for me with 4.0.0-beta.4.
