Destructuring exported array with `require` causes error

Bug Report

I'm progressively adding TypeScript to an existing JS codebase. In several of our files, there is an existing pattern of exporting arrays like so: module.exports = [A, serializeA].
When requiring and destructuring this export like const [A] = require('./a'), I get an unexpected error Module '"./a"' has no exported member 'A'. ts(2305) which I believe to be a bug.

🔎 Search Terms

module has no exported member TS2305

🕗 Version & Regression Information

• This is the behavior in every version I tried, and I reviewed the FAQ for entries about module.exports

⏯ Playground Link

Not sure how to repro this in a Playground work Workbench since I believe it requires files and exports/requries.

💻 Code

// a.js
class A {}
module.exports = [A]

// b.js
const [A] = require('./a') // Module '"./a"' has no exported member 'A'. ts(2305)

🙁 Actual behavior

The compiler shows an error

🙂 Expected behavior

The compiler shows no error and the exported array is correctly destructured and the type infered.

Start with the two-file reproduction in a.js and b.js, where module.exports assigns an array and require destructures it. Trace the compiler's handling of module.exports and the destructured require to determine why TS2305 is reported. Done means the example compiles without that error and the destructured value's type is inferred correctly.
