columns accessors defined inside group gets wrong types

info.getValue() type resolves to any instead of correct type, if the accessor is defined in column group. For example: 
const colHelper = createColumnHelper<{name:string}>();

const columns = [
  colHelper.accessor("name", {
    cell: (info) => info.getValue() // <-- resolves to "string"
  })
]

const columnsWithGroup = [
  colHelper.group({
    columns: [
      colHelper.accessor("name", {
        cell: (info) => info.getValue(), // <-- resolves to "any"
      }),
    ],
  })
]
const colHelper = createColumnHelper<{name:string}>();

const columns = [
  colHelper.accessor("name", {
    cell: (info) => info.getValue() // <-- resolves to "string"
  })
]

const columnsWithGroup = [
  colHelper.group({
    columns: [
      colHelper.accessor("name", {
        cell: (info) => info.getValue(), // <-- resolves to "any"
      }),
    ],
  })
]

As it's always happening, I've just realized that the workaround is quite simple 😅 
const colHelper = createColumnHelper<{name:string}>();

const groupColumns = [
      colHelper.accessor("name", {
        cell: (info) => info.getValue(), // <-- resolves to "string"
      }),
// ... other columns
    ]

const columnsWithGroup = [
  colHelper.group({
    columns: groupColumns
  })
]
const colHelper = createColumnHelper<{name:string}>();

const groupColumns = [
      colHelper.accessor("name", {
        cell: (info) => info.getValue(), // <-- resolves to "string"
      }),
// ... other columns
    ]

const columnsWithGroup = [
  colHelper.group({
    columns: groupColumns
  })
]
