Definitelytyped: serialport: Types for parser-readline (and probably others) are missing

[0815fox]

Authors: @codefoster @apearson

Those modules are installed as @serialport/parser-readline

import ReadlineParser = require("@serialport/parser-readline");

I am not sure, how / if it would be correct to include them into the serialport definitions or seperately. However, what would the name for modules which have a namespace be, as @types/@serialport/parser-readline probably is not possible.

From the FAQs, it looks like they should be their own new type located at types/serialport__parser-readline.

To install them the user would have to do
npm install @types/serialport__parser-readline

It looks like the serialport package has been broken up into it's many components along with a major version release (7.0.0). We'd want to release a new version of the type and have the breakup along with it.

What about a PR to get the types into the packages so that people get types automatically without having to use the @types package? This is, in my experience, the better option if the core library will accept the PR.

any follow up since then?
