A way to document "export from" types?

Problem

I've got something like this:

[picklist/index.ts]

/**
 * @module picklist
 */

export * from './controller';
export * from './shims';
export * from './view-item';
export * from './view';

import * as Picklist from 'picklist/index';

export interface Foo {
  Picklist: typeof Picklist;
}

The question is, how to document [Foo.Picklist]? Currently it is coming out like this in the docs:

There is no documentation generated for the Picklist type.

By comparison, types that are generated without using the "export from" syntax don't have this problem.

Suggested Solution

Don't really know to be honest. Seems like it could be related to #516.

To clarify the problem, type information is not given to the Picklist property and instead the path is shown.

In general import * as and export * currently aren't well supported. We should probably link to a file that has all the symbols in the file.

In 0.17.0 Picklist is shows as typeof Picklist (it doesn't have a link, but that's a separate issue that I'm looking into and not specific to this use, quite a few reference types seem to be broken)

The support for export declarations was greatly improved in 0.16, and slightly extended in 0.17
