Before You File a Proposal Please Confirm You Have Done The Following...

• I have searched for related issues and found none that match my proposal.
• I have read the FAQ and my problem is not listed.

Description

Right now, no config in the following list includes any other config in that list:

• plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended
• plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended-requiring-type-checking
• plugin:@typescript-eslint/strict

That means if you want, say, the strictest, you must enable all three (https://typescript-eslint.io/docs/linting/configs):

{
  "extends": [
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended",
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended-requiring-type-checking",
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/strict"
  ]
}

Proposal: how about we have each config in that list also include any previous config in the list? That way if you want, say, the strictest, you would only need to enable one:

{
  "extends": [
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/strict"
  ]
}

Impacted Configurations

• plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended
• plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended-requiring-type-checking
• plugin:@typescript-eslint/strict

Additional Info

This would be a breaking change.
