Description
When using `// @preval` at the top of the file, it's first evaluated in Node.js. This means that TypeScript has no idea what's going on. If I leave these files as vanilla JS (`.js`) it's okay (the import gets an `any` type in TS), but then we don't get the advantages of TypeScript.
Can I write preval files themselves in TypeScript? Maybe with ts-node?
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the @preval evaluation path and its Node.js execution boundary, then determine how TypeScript-authored preval files would be handled; done means the requested TypeScript workflow works and is covered by an appropriate test.
