Looks like this one is solved - to use this lib, you need to be using at least TypeScript 3.8.x. Sadly - there’s no way we can figure out how to express which version of TypeScript we require in a programmatic sense (peer dependencies, optional dependencies, strict engine checks, etc).

I know this answer isn’t super fulfilling, but our plan is to start gating TypeScript tooling version on semver major releases of the library (which for this library … is often.).

microsoft/TypeScript#34903 adds support for the new export * as ns from ‘specifier’ syntax, which is after typescript@3.8.
