As part of some extension issues like - https://github.com/microsoft/applicationinsights-angularplugin-js/issues/97 With the workaround PR - https://github.com/microsoft/applicationinsights-angularplugin-js/pull/206 Update the BaseTelemetryPlugin to - Make the `setNextPlugin` an Optional (implemented function) - Mark the `setNextPlugin` as deprecated in the interface and all implementations (keeping the current usage) - Fix typo in the interface stating that this the function "now optional" not "not optional"
