TypeScript symbols is empty inside closure (like jQuery plugins)

[Ciantic]

I tried developing basic jQuery plugin with TS, looks like the symbols list is totally empty if I use following code:

/// <reference path="./typings/tsd.d.ts" />
(function ($: JQueryStatic) {

    interface Anything {
        something : string
    }

    function func() {
    }

})(jQuery);

I think it should recgonize the whole file spanning closure and not let it ruin the symbols listing.

I also think this is annoying. Symbols view only shows symbols in the global scope, also for Javasript. If you use class expressions for Angular, like .controller('MyController', class MyController { ... }) you will never get any methods of that class show up in the symbol view.

This is an issue with TypeScript. For JavaScript this actually works a lot better then for TypeScript despite using the same language service...
