view string autocomplete.

Right now, the view option is typed as string, which provides no autocomplete:

folder.addBlade({
  view: '', // no autocomplete
})

I think a union of string literals would be awesome to have here. This would make it easy to see what the available views are without having to surf the docs every time.

If it was instead typed like this:

type View = 'color' | 'list' | 'graph' | ...etc | ({} & string)

The ({} & string) would allow any string value, but the type would preserve the intellisense for autocomplete!

I think this could also be used to infer the type of the binding returned using conditional types internally... but that is another issue altogether 😇

Interesting. Do you know how it works? It looks a bit cryptic and I still can't understand why it works as intended.
