Description
I am unable to import/require the filesystem path helpers mentioned here: https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/core#filesystem-path-helpers
It appears that TypeScript is not emitting the exports from this line during compilation: https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/bc4be505973a6a7344bfd71e1b32f77e1755310c/packages/core/src/core.ts#L391
I suspect it's due to the fancy, newfangled namespaced export. The module target must be set to es2020 for this syntax to work: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-3-8.html#export--as-ns-syntax
