    """Wraps rules_ts's ts_project rule with common settings for our code.

    This macro ensures all ts_project[1] rules use our common //tsconfig.json file, and prevents
    errors such as "error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'mocha'", which arise when
    the tsconfig.json file declares ambient modules[2] via compilerOptions.types[3], but we forget
    to provide them to the ts_project rule via the deps argument. This macro simply adds those
    dependencies for us.

    This macro is called ts_library, as opposed to ts_project, for consistency with our other
    *_library rules, and also because it used to be a wrapper around the now-deprecated ts_library
    rule from the rules_nodejs repository[4].
