Honestly, I've always preferred to have somebody's example plus the reference documentation.

Learning not only what it does but where it's documented - and having to go look for myself to do so - fixes it in my memory a lot better.

I have a years old set of npm/etc. configs in a project I noodle on occasionally, and when I re-open them to look I remember exactly what they do -because- I started from a boilerplate and then went and learned how all of it works.

That doesn't mean an explanation wouldn't still be helpful for a bunch of people who aren't me, but honestly having the tsconfig commented like that is more than sufficient for -me- to be happy.
