TypeScript: Strongly typed intrinsic elements about crank HOT 1 OPEN

There's now discussion on a few separate issues about what things are worth typing and which end-user scenarios should be covered by typing or not. It'd be great to have a single, clear written description of what the Crank API goals are, what motivations to consider for strict typing etc - a manifesto or something similar.

Some goals are clear: use JavaScript language features instead of building framework solutions, and don't copy existing frameworks' design decisions just out of familiarity. What motivates API design decisions beyond that?

E.g. regarding types I think it's important to strongly type the onevent props, since it's the base that people will build everything else on. More generally, I think whenever a user is writing JSX, props for the components they're using should be strongly typed, and the inputs and outputs of their component functions should be strongly typed.

I'm sure not everyone will agree with me, but it'd be good to have a clear direction in one place to reference for these discussions. And for deciding whether something is a bug or intended behavior (as in #68 e.g.)
