Guangcong Luo 87ef0cd5c4 TypeScript: export default
I'm currently pretty annoyed at TypeScript and TC39 for default exports
being a mess.

The goal here is to be able to type

    import Dex from './dex';

instead of any of

    import Dex = require('./dex');
    import {Dex} from './dex';
    import * as Dex from './dex';

This part involves a significant amount of struggle.

First, you can't automatically package up all your exports as your
default export. This leads to extremely un-DRY code, like in sim/index:

    export {
        Pokemon,
        Side,
        Battle,
        PRNG,
        Dex,
        TeamValidator,

        BattleStream,
    };

    export const Sim = {
        Pokemon,
        Side,
        Battle,
        PRNG,
        Dex,
        TeamValidator,

        BattleStream,
    };

(Both of these exports would be entirely unnecessary if you could just
automatically declare the file's exports as a default namespace.)

Second, a default export can't easily be a namespace. And TypeScript
doesn't allow types to exist in objects. Take the example from earlier:

    export const Sim = {
        Pokemon,
    };

If we were to try to use it:

    import Sim from './sim';
    let pokemon: Sim.Pokemon;

you'll get this error:

    Cannot find namespace 'Sim'. ts(2503)

You can, of course, fix this by making Sim a namespace:

    const PokemonT = Pokemon;
    type PokemonT = Pokemon;
    export namespace Sim {
        export const Pokemon = PokemonT;
        type Pokemon = PokemonT;
    }

But this quickly gets ridiculous the more classes you try to export.

You'd think there'd be a better way to do this. But I, at least,
haven't found one.
