typescriptServices.d.ts in 1.5-beta is missing Scanner interface

[ashwinr]

Hello: TSLint is using the scanner interface for a few things -- like walking through all tokens for enabling/disabling rules selectively or for enforcing indentation. Since the scanner is no longer exported in the d.ts. in beta, this breaks TSLint. Can you please tell us what the alternative to using a scanner is, or if there's any way to have the scanner exported in typescript's d.ts? Thanks!

We just wanted to limit the API surface area. I can expose the scanner again if you have dependency on it. Just curious why not use Node.getChildren(),

We need the scanner because Node.getChildren doesn't cover comments or whitespace -- both of which we need to access for the linter. There's no other good way to scan all the comment nodes, for instance.
