Bug Report

Hi! We have TypeScript plugin and after recent update to latest TypeScript version to 5.0.2 we no longer can use ts in types in our files e.g.:

// In TS 4.9.5 we could: // File: index.ts import 'typescript/lib/tsserverlibrary' // or ///<ref ... // File: other.ts export const decorateLs = (languageService: ts.LanguageService) => {...}

We don't like to rewrite everything to use imports (import('typescript').LanguageService) and we more like the current state of codebase with concise type declarations

Type import module use globally, define type module globally, declare global type

We tried this workaround:

// File: ts.d.ts type ts = typeof import('typescript') // or declare global { ... } export { }

But in other.ts:

type A = ts.LanguageService // Error: 'ts' only refers to a type, but is being used as a namespace here.ts(2702)

But I personally have no idea why it doesn't capture module's type into declared type
