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.
