typescript definitions for openLayers

Question

Here's a function I need to use in typescript code:

ol.inherits(child, parent);

How to add a definition for that function in OpenLayers.d.ts file?

Thank you in advance for any help!

Untested sample but a likely candidate:

declare module OpenLayers {
    export function inherits(child:any,base:any);
}

A Pull Request + test would be welcome if you manage to use this function.

PS:

I recommend using the extends keyword and not bothering with the inherits function as it will give you better type safety. For example

class FooLayer extends OpenLayers.Layer{
}
