Broken @storybook/addon-contexts types

[TeoTN]

Describe the bug
Types for @storybook/addon-contexts@5.3.9 seem to be broken, causing following TypeScript error:

Could not find a declaration file for module '@storybook/addon-contexts/react'. '.../node_modules/@storybook/addon-contexts/react.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
  Try `npm install @types/storybook__addon-contexts` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module '@storybook/addon-contexts/react';`  TS7016

To Reproduce
import { withContexts } from '@storybook/addon-contexts/react';

Expected behavior
No errors

Same issue for me

Using

import { withContexts } from '@storybook/addon-contexts/dist/preview/frameworks/react';

Works, but then TypeScript can't determine the type of the contexts argument because "Cannot find module '../../shared/types'."

I'd expect a way to get correct types without knowing internal structure of the library...

Looking to replace addon-contexts in SB6.0 with addon-toolbars that is much simpler and uses Storybook core features (args, decorators). Feedback welcome!

Open PR, API still under consideration: #10028
