TypeScript SDK timestamps are mistyped or improperly serialized

[douglance]

For this table:

const message = table(
  { name: "Message", public: true },
  {
    sender: t.identity(),
    sent: t.timestamp(),
    text: t.string(),
  },
);

using this method:

ctx.db.Message.insert({
  sender: ctx.sender,
  sent: ctx.timestamp,
  text: text.trim(),
});

throws:

runtime error: js error Uncaught SyntaxError: Cannot convert [object Object] to a BigInt
        at writeI64 (spacetimedb_module:392:14)
        at serializeValue (spacetimedb_module:978:12)
        at serializeValue (spacetimedb_module:1070:52)
        at serializeValue (spacetimedb_module:943:18)
        at serializeValue (spacetimedb_module:1070:52)
        at serializeValue (spacetimedb_module:943:18)
        at insert (spacetimedb_module:3384:18)
        at <anonymous> (spacetimedb_module:3721:33)
        at __call_reducer__ (spacetimedb_module:3341:30)

But if we use:

ctx.db.Message.insert({
  sender: ctx.sender,
  sent: ctx.timestamp.__timestamp_micros_since_unix_epoch__,
  text: text.trim(),
});

It serializes properly.

But the type of sent in the inserted payload throws this type error:

Type 'bigint' is not assignable to type 'Timestamp'. (ts 2322)
