Why does the plugin write declaration files directly? vs using `emitFile`

See original GitHub issue

As opposed to using emitFile on the rollup context?

The main issue I’m running into is that declarations aren’t emitted at all when using the rollup API directly, because that calls the generateBundle hook with isWrite==false. But more generally, it would be useful to have these in the return value from generate, so that I can feed them into a .d.ts bundling tool.

I think this API didn’t exist when the plugin was originally written (or I missed it completely). This does make a lot of sense though, feel free to make a PR. (If not, I’ll fix it, eventually 😃).

This is apparently not intentional behavior in Rollup, see https://github.com/rollup/rollup/issues/3174
