There is a TypeScript error occurring on all components that use the Location definitions from history. This was introduced recently to replace LocationDescriptor, which was recently deprecated as of history@v5.

Error noticed during a smoke test for release candidate on memex:

Solution:
The correct type definition should be a union of Location and string to restore parity with LocationDescriptor. I've used Pathname instead, so it's easier to reason around why string is valid here.

The Pathname type is just string, but I agree with the decision to use Pathname.

Yeah, easier to infer the semantic meaning this way. It was previously Path (string) in history@v4.
