I would like to note that TypeScript actually has runtime effects/syntax
beyond just type annotation like how modules work:
https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/modules.html . I don't think
it is realistic to treat things that affect runtime/import/export/etc. to
be treated as comments and expect things to just work.
