Problem with embedded typescript

[sdarnell]

I'm using angular2, typescript and therefore include this package.
I hit an issue where the DOM definitions in typescript appear to have changed, in a breaking way. So typescript now (I'm currently using 2.3.2) uses SVGGraphicsElement as a base class for say getBBox(). But the older 2.0.0 version used SVGLocatable.
The problem is that other tools including Webstorm are expecting SVGGraphicsElement and I get errors.

In this specific case, I can easily work-around this inconsistency and use an 'any' type, but the more general issue is that typescript is advancing at quite a rate, and being tied to the version included in this package is going to become a significant issue.

I discovered it by trying to find where SVGLocatable is declared, and the result was:
./.meteor/local/build/programs/server/npm/node_modules/meteor/barbatus_typescript-compiler/node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.d.ts plus the dom.d.ts etc.

So the question is how can I avoid using these definitions, and rely in the typescript version I have in node_modules/typescript?

I have a single tsconfig.json config file at the top:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "removeComments": false,
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "sourceMap": true
  },
  "exclude": [
    ".meteor"
  ]
}

I'm not sure the 'exclude' is really doing anything.
I also added a libs entry to try to explicitly specify libraries ("lib": [ "es2015", "dom" ],) but that didn't make any difference.

I also tried using "typeRoots" : ["./node_modules/@types"] to prevent searching for type definitions, but no difference there either.

Any ideas?
