TS 2.9.2 incorrectly imports symbol from file rather than from library

[gsbelarus]

2.9.2 have broken my build process. After an investigation I found strange thing. There is a code which worked in previous version:

import { createToken, Lexer, IToken } from 'chevrotain';

export const WhiteSpace = createToken({
  name: 'WhiteSpace',
  pattern: /[ \t]+/,
  line_breaks: false
});
...

Now it produces incorrect type definition:

import { Lexer, IToken } from 'chevrotain';
export declare const WhiteSpace: import("../../../../../../Golden/NS/lib/gdmn-nlp/node_modules/chevrotain").TokenType;

When I specify type of constant directly all works well:

import { createToken, Lexer, IToken, TokenType } from 'chevrotain';

export const WhiteSpace: TokenType = createToken({
  name: 'WhiteSpace',
  pattern: /[ \t]+/,
  line_breaks: false
});

results into correct type definition:

import { Lexer, IToken, TokenType } from 'chevrotain';
export declare const WhiteSpace: TokenType;

The function CreateToken declared as:

export declare function createToken(config: ITokenConfig): TokenType

So, in the example above TS must know about type of constant and use type TokenType from library chevrotain instead of disk file.

Duplicate of #24980 and #24599.

Should be fixed into version 3. You can try it with a Nightly Build.

Thanks @j-oliveras!
