Expected result

When the type of the last (3rd in this case) parameter of a custom Error class is ErrorOptions that accepts a cause from an Error caught via a try/catch block, the captured error when set to that cause should not product a "False Positive" form the linter.

aka

  .... 
  catch(err) {
    throw new MyError('oh no!', 42, { cause: err })
  }
