@soylomass Same answer for you too: decorators cannot modify the type of a `class` in TypeScript. See here: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/4881 and https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/4881#issuecomment-450938639 Of course this is all possible in plain JS,...

@ktsn Idea: the return type of a method can be used as the type of any other class property. Suppose the `Vue` base class defines a `composed: ReturnType` property (naming...

👍 I'd like to document decorators in some TypeScript usage examples soon, at which point I'll need to fix this.

This just bit me. I have the leafdoc directive character set to `@`, and I was trying to write a doc something like this: ```js /* @example `cat foo.txt |...

Thinking to add an escaping feature. I'm thinking of two options: - double up on the leafdoc character in places where it isn't meant to be used as a directive....

I think you're right! The double directive character seems like a better option.

That's a workaround only for TypeScript code (good thing for your case). No way around it in plain JS. Try in console: ```js class Foo { foo } const f...

That works, but it isn't desirable to write code that way.

I've published code to production, and the issues that stem from this didn't become apparent until later. :exclamation: :exclamation: :exclamation: Testing would have caught the problem, but you all know...
