Unable to export an interface as a default export in one line

[raybooysen]

This is valid typescript

interface Bar {
    name: string;
}

export default Bar;

However, the compiler complains if I do this:

export default interface Bar {
    name: string;
}

I would have expected this to work in both cases as if I substitute interface with class it works fine.

Reading the spec here, https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/blob/master/doc/spec.md#11.3.4, shows that interfaces cannot be part of a default export, but why?

Thanks!
