Validate TypeScript checking while bundling in FURN about rnx-kit HOT 3 CLOSED

FURN helped uncover a few issues in the plugin. After making several rounds of fixes, I've gotten down to one core issue that can't be fixed.

FURN packages have a unique structure. Their module prop in package.json refers to a .ts source file, rather than a transpiled .js file with a .d.ts companion.

The Metro plugin runs tsc, which resolves package references using module and it expects to find a .d.ts file.

Since FURN bundling is done without running a build first, the .d.ts files are all missing.

tsc fails each module lookup, as a result.

I'm going to work on making improvements to the plugin before resuming this task.

Draft PR out in FURN to address some of the type issues (required before type-checking can be enabled): microsoft/fluentui-react-native#1275.

FURN is tracking this in their own repo now. They have two issues which must be fixed before type-safe bundling can be enabled:
microsoft/fluentui-react-native#1337
microsoft/fluentui-react-native#1338
