`ChainablePromiseElement` and `ChainablePromiseArray` wrongly resolved to `any`

[dprevost-LMI]

ChainablePromiseElement and ChainablePromiseArray are not resolved correctly because of the provided generics. IDE shows them defined as any.

Once generics are removed, it is no longer any and the tsc command unfolds typing issues
