Description

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.
