Description of the issue

• key for "Unused devDependencies" should be devDependencies
• key for "Referenced optional peerDependencies" should be optionalPeerDependencies

Yes and no. You're technically correct, but from a user's perspective usually only dependencies is relevant:

• https://knip.dev/features/rules-and-filters
• https://knip.dev/reference/cli#--dependencies

The idea is that --dependencies is a shorthand flag and e.g. devDependencies are handled for you based on running production mode or not.

That said, it is indeed possible to configure e.g. exclude: ['optionalPeerDependencies'] although I think it's not so common.

Does that clear things up? Regardless, there's definitely room to improve the docs.

@webpro, oh, I see a point in the "Notes" section. Didn't notice it. Maybe, it'd be more clear, if we add footnotes to related items (e.g. "Unused devDependencies", "Referenced optional peerDependencies", "Unused exported types")?
