+Adds Starlight-specific types to `defineEcConfig` function and exports `StarlightExpressiveCodeOptions`.
+
+This provides Starlight types and IntelliSense support for your Expressive Code configuration options inside an `ec.config.mjs` file. See the [Expressive Code documentation](https://expressive-code.com/key-features/code-component/#using-an-ecconfigmjs-file) for more information.

+/**
+ * A utility function that helps you define an Expressive Code configuration object. It is meant
+ * to be used inside the optional config file `ec.config.mjs` located in the root directory
+ * of your Starlight project, and its return value to be exported as the default export.
+ *
+ * Expressive Code will automatically detect this file and use the exported configuration object
+ * to override its own default settings.
+ *
+ * Using this function is recommended, but not required. It just passes through the given object,
+ * but it also provides type information for your editor's auto-completion and type checking.
+ *
+ * @example
+ * ```js
+ * // ec.config.mjs
+ * import { defineEcConfig } from '@astrojs/starlight/expressive-code'
+ *
+ * export default defineEcConfig({
+ *   themes: ['starlight-dark', 'github-light'],
+ *   styleOverrides: {
+ *     borderRadius: '0.5rem',
+ *   },
+ * })
+ * ```
