Ok, I got it! Thanks, Harbs! But I still wonder why the Angular guys don't follow this path? Instead of extending their own externs lib they introduced the DefinitelyTyped lib? It seems to me that the closure lib just contains a handful externs while DefinitelyTyped covers nearly anything. But isn't it a very tough work to create all the DefinitelyTyped stuff manually even if it's done by thousands of contributors? I understand that if the origin JS code uses the "externs JSDoc annotations" then you get the typedefs for free?
