TypeScript: compiling removes unreferenced imports
You can do this at the top of your file (instead of import):
/// <amd-dependency path="just/referencingthis/forpackaging" />
A nicer solution (tested with TS 1.8):
import 'just/referencingthis/forpackaging';The amd-dependency triple-slash-directive seems to only work if there are other require imports; only having amd-dependency directives results in the TypeScript compiler generating JavaScript completely without a module definition.
