Description

raise a error for this:

bad:

// function comment not recognized by tsc
const getShortName = (name: string): string => {
   ...
}

tsc doesn't think this is a function comment and doesn't emit it in type definition.

good:

/**
 * function comment not recognized by tsc
 */
const getShortName = (name: string): string => {
   ...
}

Research direction

Define the diagnostic for a single-line function comment that is not recognized by tsc, while accepting the equivalent /** */ comment; done means the rule distinguishes these cases.
