lib.es6.d.ts is missing a method for CanvasRenderingContext2D interface

lib.es6.d.ts is missing a 'fill' method for CanvasRenderingContext2D that takes a 'Path2D'

Please add the following to the CanvasRenderingContext2D interface:
fill(path: Path2D, fillRule?: CanvasFillRule): void

I don't understand this response? I'm NOT contributing! I'm only trying to point out that your .d.ts files are broken, and causing many errors during my compile. None of the Typescript .d.ts files are complete with respect to the canvasContext2D specification specifically relating to Path2D. There are several omissions.

@nhrones we agree the definition files are incomplete. @mhegazy was outlining the process for contributing a fix for anyone who was interested in doing so.

Is anyone taking any responsibility for the quality of this language? The Path2D issue in all .d.ts files has been known and ignored since December 2015 ... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjV15_8gvjWAhUBZyYKHYU_Am4QFggnMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fstackoverflow.com%2Fquestions%2F34109921%2Fusing-path2d-in-a-typescript-project-is-not-resolved&usg=AOvVaw3AQecd8K3O5RuFJCetHmtq I really don't understand the offer for me to fix .d.ts files? Does this mean anyone can modify the core .d.ts files? If so, it is no wonder that they are full of errors and omissions?

Why is software unfinished? Why do bugs exist? What has caused our resources to be woefully finite? Is imperfection our curse, or our penance? These questions exist, but until the hour of reckoning, the answers are shrouded from our view.

So ... what you're telling me is 'it is best to avoid Typescript until the team gets more resources!' Message received .. you can close this issue.

Okay. Looks like you came up with a fix in Typescript 2.6.
// @ts-ignore
Having compile errors due to incorrect/incomplete .d.ts? Just add an ignore comment to your code.
Great fix. Now I know why your resources are so thin.

Reopening since this does need to get fixed - thanks for raising it. We'll fix it with the next round of DOM updates or hopefully someone can contribute a fix.
