Unable to target browser and deno with unstable features in typescript `compilerOptions.lib`

Hi. I followed the guide from docs to include libs for dom api and deno unstable features in the same environment. But it doesn't work for me. I added this to deno.json:

{
    "unstable": ["webgpu"],
    "compilerOptions": {
        "lib": [
            "dom",
            "dom.iterable",
            "dom.asynciterable",
            "deno.ns",
            "deno.unstable"
        ],
    },
}


In my case I wanted to use webgpu api and render it on dom canvas

const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
document.body.appendChild(canvas);
// no errors for dom api

const adapter = await navigator.gpu.requestAdapter();
                                ^^^
Property 'gpu' does not exist on type 'Navigator'.


If I don't specify lib property in 
compilerOptions
, I can access the navigator.gpu, but then I can't use dom api. Based on the docs the configuration above should allow for both api, but it doesn't work for me.
