Typescript definition file using reserved keywords

Question

How can I create a type definition for a function (global scope) named as a reserved keyword such as "module" (qunit, http://api.qunitjs.com/module/)?

Is there a prefix char or something I can use? A char that simply gets removed on compile.

I also think there is no way for this. In these cases you can use something like:

QUnit.module('module_name');

I'm working on a qunit.d.ts file on this link. With it you can use the code I put above.

I don't believe there is a way to do this currently - there is nothing like CoffeeScripts back-tick syntax.

One work-around would be to create a function in your JavaScript to alias the module function:

JavaScript

function moduleAlias(name, lifecycle) {
    module(name, lifecycle);
}

TypeScript

declare var moduleAlias: { (name: string, lifecycle: any) : void; };

moduleAlias('Test', {});

As per my answer here this works for me:

declare var module: any;
(module).exports = MyClass;
