Description

version: 2.26.0

Example:

It seems that the following import statements can't be combined into one

import type { Foo } from 'pathToModule';
import type * as AllTypes from 'pathToModule';

Expected: supports the user-case & no import/no-duplicates error

Contributor guide

Research direction
Modify the import/no duplicates rule to detect when a named type import and a namespace type import from the same module can be merged. Look at how the rule currently handles regular imports and extend the logic to handle type only imports with `import type` syntax.
