* Declaration emit includes function properties
It does this by printing the type as an object literal type:
```ts
function f() { }
f.p = 1
```
Appears in a d.ts as
```ts
declare var f: {
(): void;
p: number;
}
```
It would also be possible to represent it as a namespace merge. I'm not
sure which is better.
```ts
declare function f(): void;
declare namespace f {
export var p: number;
}
```
In order to avoid a private-name-used error (though I think it was
actually *unused*), I also had to change the nodeBuilder code to match.
This is arguably harder to read. So it's possible that I should instead
keep the nodeBuilder version as `typeof f` and make an exception for
private name use.
* Emit namespace merge instead of object type
This makes the change smaller, overall.
* Fix isJSContainerFunctionDeclaration+namespace merges
Also improve emit style to match other namespace emit.
* Add isPrivate + test case from PR comments
TypeScript
TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types to JavaScript that support tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS. TypeScript compiles to readable, standards-based JavaScript. Try it out at the playground, and stay up to date via our blog and Twitter account.
Installing
For the latest stable version:
npm install -g typescript
For our nightly builds:

Documentation
Building
In order to build the TypeScript compiler, ensure that you have Git and Node.js installed.
Clone a copy of the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript.git
Change to the TypeScript directory:
cd TypeScript
Install Jake tools and dev dependencies:
npm install -g jake
npm install
Use one of the following to build and test:
jake local # Build the compiler into built/local
jake clean # Delete the built compiler
jake LKG # Replace the last known good with the built one.
# Bootstrapping step to be executed when the built compiler reaches a stable state.
jake tests # Build the test infrastructure using the built compiler.
jake runtests # Run tests using the built compiler and test infrastructure.
# You can override the host or specify a test for this command.
# Use host=<hostName> or tests=<testPath>.
jake runtests-browser # Runs the tests using the built run.js file. Syntax is jake runtests. Optional
parameters 'host=', 'tests=[regex], reporter=[list|spec|json|<more>]'.
jake baseline-accept # This replaces the baseline test results with the results obtained from jake runtests.
jake lint # Runs tslint on the TypeScript source.
jake help # List the above commands.
Usage
node built/local/tsc.js hello.ts
