Using `return hole()` to Determine Type Remapping in `Schema.transform`

For me, working on writing

Schema.transform

Schema.transform

has always been a bit of a tough task—first, because you have to figure out whether you've correctly placed the source schemas into the function. But then TypeScript highlights the entire options block in red and throws massive errors about incompatibility—so I used to

return 123 as any

return 123 as any

from encode-decode just to see what arguments the functions were expecting.

But only now did I realize—there's

return hole()

return hole()

! Now, when I hover over the

hole

hole

, I can see exactly what type I need to remap the incoming data to!

I hope this helps others who suffer the same way I did
