Multiple files, so can't use playground

πŸ’» Code

// file1.ts
export namespace MyOtherNamespace {
    export const enum Yay {
        OK,
        KO
    }
}
// file2.ts
import { MyOtherNamespace } from "./file1";
export namespace MyNamespace {
    export import NS2 = MyOtherNamespace;
}
import { MyNamespace } from "./file2.ts";

const val = MyNamespace.NS2.Yay.KO
// Compiled code
const file2_1 = require("./file2"); // notice the variable name which is just "filename_1", as it is not used anywhere
const val = 1;

πŸ™ Actual behavior

Compiling an unused const file2_1 = require("./file2"); line

πŸ™‚ Expected behavior

Do not compile unused line.

Additional information about the issue

The problem is that this file is a types file, so it is installed only in develpment environment (npm install -D xxx) so in runtime it is failing because it can't find the required module.

If I modify the MyNamespace namespace to directly export a namespace instead of doing an export import it works, but we have a lot of namespaces so we have them separated into files, and couldn't find another way to export an imported namespace inside another namespace.
