verbatimModuleSyntax type quick fix

✅ Viability Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

⭐ Suggestion

I am trying out the beta, and got this message when enabling verbatimModuleSyntax (as expected). However, the only quick fix available to me was the one to convert the import to a namespace import.

📃 Motivating Example

import { ImAType, NotAType } from "foo";

Becomes:

import { type ImAType, NotAType } from "foo";

Or:

import { type ImAType } from "foo";
import { NotAType } from "foo";

I thought we had it (maybe it only works for preserveValueImports?)
