Summary

This is a PR that should be merged into #1024 and incrementally addresses #842.

This PR turns off the no-inferrable-types rule. My thinking behind this is that, while extraneous, being specific about the type of a variable even when it can be inferred from its initialization value may be helpful to folks, especially those whom may be unfamiliar with TypeScript.

Example code that failed this rule previously:

export function delay(ms: number = 0): Promise<void> {

In the above, because the default value of ms is set to 0, it can be inferred from the default value that the type of ms is number. Thus, the no-inferrable-types rule would fail.

What do folks think?
