TypeScript
What problem does ${configDir} solve in a shared, extended base tsconfig?
A
It has no practical use case
B
Without it, a relative path like ./dist in a shared base config resolves relative to whichever file EXTENDS it, not the base config's own location — ${configDir} lets it resolve relative to the extending package instead, correctly, when that's the intended behavior
C
It makes builds run faster
D
It disables extends entirely
