dist\typings causing compile error with TypeScript

[kachihro]

Describe the problem

We're building a webpart for SharePoint 2016, and the older SPFX component framework has to use TypeScript 2.2.
I've been able to use the 'Auth0-spa-js' library for the more recent SPFX (up-to-date TypeScript).

But - have to instead use the older one.

Within the typings/Auth0Client.d.ts file, there is an error that's causing a compiler error - on older TypeScript.

Between v1.6.5 and v1.7.0, this was changed ...>

• OLD >
  getIdTokenClaims(options?: GetIdTokenClaimsOptions): Promise<IdToken>;

• NEW >
  getIdTokenClaims(options?: GetIdTokenClaimsOptions): Promise<import("./global").IdToken>;

If I change the TYPINGS file (manually) - then it works.

Otherwise ;

Error - typescript - node_modules@auth0\auth0-spa-js\dist\typings\Auth0Client.d.ts(64,31): error TS1005: ',' expected.
Error - typescript - node_modules@auth0\auth0-spa-js\dist\typings\Auth0Client.d.ts(74,65): error TS1005: '>' expected.

Environment

Please provide the following:

• **Version of auth0-spa-js used: v.16.5 - and v.1.7.0

• (have a working example in code - w/ v1.13.5 - after I manually change the TYPINGS file)

• Which framework are you using, if applicable (Angular, React, etc):

• SPFX v1.1
