Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the index.ts and foo.ts snippets, enable verbatimModuleSyntax, and invoke the ts1484 quick fix to use an import type. Start by tracing the quick-fix behavior for that diagnostic; done means the import changes without duplicating the upper, left, or right comments.
