Define types when assigning constructor functions using const

[aaronlahey]

Is there any way currently (or any desire to implement a way) to automatically create a type when the return value of a function includes { new } and is assigned to a const?

Code

Desired Syntax

class Struct<T extends object> {
    public static define<T extends object>(): { new(t: T): Struct<T> } {
        return Struct;
    }
}

const Point = Struct.define<{
    x: number,
    y: number
}>();

// [ts] Cannot find name 'Point'.
function identity(p: Point): Point {
    return p;
}

Current Syntax

class Struct<T extends object> {
    public static define<T extends object>(): { new(t: T): Struct<T> } {
        return Struct;
    }
}

type PointData = { x: number, y: number };
type Point = Struct<PointData>;
const Point = Struct.define<PointData>();

function identity(p: Point): Point {
    return p;
}

It looks like the issue this is a duplicate of was declined and closed. Closing this one as well.
