Please write a user story for this feature

import { cached } from '@glimmer/tracking'; leads to Module '"@glimmer/tracking"' has no exported member 'cached'.. As of Ember 4 the cached decorator is available by default.

I currently work-around that issue by adding:

declare module '@glimmer/tracking' {
  export const cached: PropertyDecorator;
}

Thanks for writing this up, @boris-petrov. As per the usual flow, we need it documented in Ember itself, and then a PR to DefinitelyTyped will be very welcome and we'll merge it!

It is in the docs since Ember 4.5:
https://api.emberjs.com/ember/4.5/functions/@glimmer%2Ftracking/cached

Just a note for posterity here, @glimmer/tracking's types aren't managed in DT—it ships its own declarations, and there's an issue over their noting the missing export: glimmerjs/glimmer.js#408

Thanks, @dfreeman! In that case, I guess this one can be closed! :)
