I export it as a string value which breaks .d.ts creation interface ReferenceTo<T extends string> { (value: T): T; value: T; } // The `as "…"` part export { ReferenceTo as "~ ReferenceTo" }; 🙁 Actual behavior I get the error a/out/lib/y.d.ts:1:39 - error TS1110: Type expected. 1 export declare const x: import("./x").~ ReferenceTo<"x">; ~ a/out/lib/y.d.ts:1:39 - error TS1110: Type expected. 1 export declare const x: import("./x").~ ReferenceTo<"x">; ~ Found 2 errors.
