`export import` of types is not allowed in namespaces when using `erasableSyntaxOnly`

🔎 Search Terms

export import alias type-only namespaces erasableSyntaxOnly

🕗 Version & Regression Information

• I was unable to test this on prior versions because erasableSyntaxOnly was just released

💻 Code

// this works
namespace types {
  export declare type Foo  = 1
}

// but this doesn't work, although it's type-only, too
namespace typesWithReexport {
  export import T = types 
}

// ignoring the error, generally these should be both accessible
type a = types.Foo
type x = typesWithReexport.T.Foo

🙁 Actual behavior

export import re-exporting a namespace (or namespace member) of a type-only namespace from another type-only namespace results in This syntax is not allowed when 'erasableSyntaxOnly' is enabled.

🙂 Expected behavior

It should not error.

Comienza con la reproducción enlazada en TypeScript Playground usando erasableSyntaxOnly y compara el namespace export declare type aceptado con la reexportación export import rechazada. Sigue el diagnóstico del compilador para el ejemplo del namespace e identifica la comprobación relevante de erasable syntax. Se considera terminado cuando el ejemplo ya no informa del error y conserva el acceso esperado al namespace de solo tipos.
