[v8] ColumnDef ergonomics

[Faithfinder]

Docs mostly list the way to define columns as

const columns: ColumnDef<TData>[] = [/* definitions */]

However, in this case in cell rendering props.getValue() is unknown, because TValue is a second generic argument to ColumnDef. And unknown isn't valid to render in React, type-wise. The only way I see around that is define each column type separately with manually specifying TValue type, but ergonomics on that are kinda bad. Need ideas.

Found createColumnHelper in examples. I wish docs would be fully updated. Oh well.

So is createColumnHelper the only way to infer the type of the accessor?

If I understand correctly the docs that are right now, if I want to use custom cells and getValue is better to use createColumnHelper.accessor(...) instead of accessorKey ?
