💻 Code

const mySymbol = Symbol('Symbols.mySymbol');

const Symbols = {
    mySymbol
} as const;

function myFunction() {}

myFunction.mySymbol = Symbols.mySymbol;

/*
SEE `.D.TS` TAB. THE ABOVE CODE PRODUCES:

declare namespace myFunction {
    var mySymbol: unique symbol;
}

WHICH IS AN ERROR (TS1332: A variable whose type is a 'unique symbol' type must be const)
*/

export {myFunction}

🙁 Actual behavior

Compiler produces:

declare namespace myFunction {
    var mySymbol: unique symbol;
}

🙂 Expected behavior

Should be:

declare namespace myFunction {
    const mySymbol: unique symbol;
}

Additional information about the issue

Behaves differently when not in a module (remove export {myFunction} in the Playground)
