Publish non-global version of definitions about typed-screeps HOT 3 OPEN

This project is primarily intended for players to use in the game. In that context, there are some assumptions built in. Like the game providing everything in global without having to import it from any particular module.

At the same time, your use case for typing out-of-game tools also sounds useful. And I can see the limitations about not being able to "put the genie back into the bottle" with oversharing in global.

This might need a bit of thinking about. From glancing at the linked thread, it's difficult to draw conclusions from 2016 PRs that don't resolve in merges, and vague references to "best practices". I don't see a @types/lodash-module OR an @types/lodash-global option and npm install @types/lodash still types _ as LodashStatic into the global namespace, instantiated or not.

Granted, assuming _ is lodash is far less global pollution than this package is making, but it's the same functionality.

Explicitly packaging a second module package seems like a possible solution but also as a rather large hammer. Will need to do a bit more research and testing.

Yeah, definitely a bit of an unusual use case that I've got, and I agree that the issue I linked isn't especially helpful. I'll do some more investigating and let you know if I come up with anything.

If you install typed-screeps, then it wont be in typeRoots by default, so you would have to explicitly import the types using import 'typed-screeps', maybe that works?
