This is a legacy AST node that is leftover from the times that the parser didn't do too much smart stuff, and instead just converted any new TS nodes by prefixing their name with TS.

We could probably remove them now, as they only really complicate the AST.
I don't think there's any good arguments for keeping them around.

Just because I should have probably done this way back when, figured I'd close this loop now as we're making this change now. @nicolo-ribaudo - if you've got questions about the TS AST - don't hesitate to reach out to me somewhere (slack, github, twitter).

A lot of the weirdness in the TS AST you guys generate is likely due to legacy things from when this project was spun up way back when - so I can probably answer your questions. It'd be good for us to keep in sync as well.
