• I haveread the FAQ and my problem is not listed.

Suggested Changes

We sometimes get requests forno-explicit-any like:

• [no-explicit-any] Option to disable rule for generic constraints #642
• Enhancement: [no-explicit-any] Option to disable rule for generic constraints (revisited) #7751
• https://x.com/JoshuaKGoldberg/status/1910814958515871943

...where folks have situations they believeany to be a correct and safe choice to use. Almost all -or maybe all?- of those situations end up having safety holes and/or being times whennever orunknown would be more appropriate.

But,https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/no-explicit-any doesn't have a mention ofnever, and only light documentation on strategies for the points in those requests.

Suggestion: how about we bolster theno-explicit-any docs with some FAQs?

Additional Info

#10362 ->https://typescript-eslint.io/blog/avoiding-anys#banning-explicit-anys added some docs, but isn't super comprehensive. It's more of a high-level overview with select situations and strategies.
