My proposal is suitable for this project

• I believe my proposal would be useful to the broader TypeScript community (meaning it is not a niche proposal).

Description

Right now, RuleContext doesn't provide defaults for its type parameters:

That means if you want to describe any arbitrary rule context the way e.g. #8146 does, you have to explicitly type out RuleContext<string, unknown[]>. It's a little inconvenient.

Proposal: let's add defaults to make referring to an "unknown" rule context a little easier?

interface RuleContext<
  TMessageIds extends string = string,
  TOptions extends readonly unknown[] = unknown[],
> {

Additional Info

#8148 is a draft PR showing the changes internally.
