    // Here in app/tsconfig.json, we want to set the `target` and `lib` keys to
    // the "best" values for the version of Node **coming with the chosen Electron**.
    // Careful: we're *not* talking about Nativefier's (CLI) required Node version,
    // we're talking about the version of the Node runtime **bundled with Electron**.
    //
    // Like in our main tsconfig.json, we want to be as conservative as possible,
    // to support (as much as reasonable) users using old versions of Electron.
    // Then, at some point, an app dependency (declared in app/package.json)
    // will require a more recent Node, then it's okay to bump our app compilerOptions
    // to what's supported by the more recent Node.
    //
    // TS doesn't offer any easy "preset" for this, so the best we have is to
    // believe people who know which {syntax, library} parts of current EcmaScript
    // are supported for the version of Node coming with the Electron being used,
    // and use what they recommend. For the current Node version, I followed
    // https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51716406/typescript-tsconfig-settings-for-node-js-10
    // and 'dom' to tell tsc it's okay to use the URL object (which is in Node >= 7)
