Definitelytyped: Suggestion: Specify carat version of `@types/react` for each release of `@types/react-select`

[nottoseethesun]

In the package.json for this package, currently there is:

"dependencies": {
    "@types/react": "*"
},

It would be better to use carat ranges than the current wildcard for @types/react in the package.json for this package, because otherwise say for example the user is on React 15, and React 16 is released, and thus then the @types/react version is 16, causing this error:

node_modules/@types/react-select/node_modules/@types/react/index.d.ts
(3422,13): error TS2403: Subsequent variable declarations must have the same type.  Variable 'a' must be of type 'DetailedHTMLProps<AnchorHTMLAttributes<HTMLAnchorElement>, HTMLAnchorElement>', but here has type 'DetailedHTMLProps<AnchorHTMLAttributes<HTMLAnchorElement>, HTMLAnchorElement>

• [x ] I tried using the @types/react-select package and had problems.
• [ x] I tried using the latest stable version of tsc. https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript

I'm having the exact same issue with vague type definitions giving duplicate errors, I want to die.

too sad! I have the same problem even though I didn't change anything. It just happens

This is pathetic. Open Source stinks
