I’d like to declare some kind of local type inside a class, just like this :

class A {
    type LocalType = ...

    // Class body
}

to make it clear that LocalType belongs to class A and is to be used only in relation with it, with A.LocalType. I know there’s… well, Typescript’s namespace‘s, but I find this solution somewhat messy : it makes the intention less clear, and I don’t like the idea of a namespace and a class having the same name :

class A {
    // Class body
}

namespace A {
    export type LocalType = ...
}

Is there another way to achieve (maybe even roughly) the same behavior ?

Thanks !
