Beschreibung
Maybe this is a question, but it has come up multiple times on Stack Overflow (most recently here) without a good answer, so I'm asking it here.
TypeScript Version: master (03af107)
Search Terms: "cannot use namespace" "as a type" TS2709 "declare module"
Code
declare module "foo";
declare module "bar" {
import { Foo } from "foo";
let x: Foo;
}
Expected behavior: An error that makes sense, or no error?
Actual behavior: error TS2709: Cannot use namespace 'Foo' as a type.
