[space-infix-ops] prevent adding a space to union types

[simPod]

• I have tried restarting my IDE and the issue persists.
• I have updated to the latest version of the packages.
• I have read the FAQ and my problem is not listed.

How can I disable this rule from adding a space to my union types? There seems to be no config for it. Introduced here #3360

Repro

{
  "rules": {
    "@typescript-eslint/space-infix-ops": "error"
  }
}

(a: Date|null = null) {}

Expected Result

Code should be fine

Actual Result

Operator '|' must be spaced @typescript-eslint/space-infix-ops

Additional Info

How can I disable this rule from modifying my types? I want only space around | when it's not type definition.

Don't use our version then and just use the original ESLint version.

Why not make it configurable?

[bradzacher]

It's as configurable as the base rule

https://eslint.org/docs/rules/space-infix-ops

Which is to say not at all.
Everyone has a preference and it's not worth the time and effort adding preferences to minutely configure every single stylistic lint rule.
