Expected Result

A definition file for a library utilizing this util should be generated just fine.

Actual Result

We get an error like this one:

TS2742: The inferred type of 'rules' cannot be named without a reference to '@typescript-eslint/utils/node_modules/@typescript-eslint/types/dist/generated/ast-spec'. This is likely not portable. A type annotation is necessary.

I've diagnosed this and the problem is that the final RuleModule contains a reference to TRuleListener and its type contains references to types from another packages:

I've also figured out a workaround - we need to provide generic params explicitly, to disable the inference for the third generic param (TRuleListener) and just use its default. The workaround in practice can be checked out here: https://github.com/emotion-js/emotion/pull/2761/files/79848d3a5ff7fa5338d31a27fb94951ea15071fa

I wonder though... why the TRuleListener is a generic? Does it have to be referenced in RuleModule? I would have assumed that a rule should be rather opaque to the consumer 🤔 (at least in relation to what kind of AST types does it process and stuff like that)

cc @JoshuaKGoldberg, funny enough that I've stumbled upon this issue just after this recent conversation on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoshuaKGoldberg/status/1526969335717191692 😅
