Previously some namespace types were generated using the legacy `module` keyword from ten years ago. Now we emit the modern TS `namespace` keyword that has been the preferred keyword since TypeScript 1.5 in 2015. Please review the resulting diff for the generated `dist/index.d.ts` file: https://gist.github.com/robpalme/a320dc3f0cb50bcd14962bca46827dae/revisions Note that the outer _Ambient Module Declaration_ intentionally remains untouched because it is not a namespace. These are differentiated by using a quoted string rather than a bare identifier `module "quoted" {` vs `module bare {}` --- Background: This usage of the legacy keyword was found by [a TypeScript real-world test suite](microsoft/TypeScript#61450 (comment)) that checks the compatibility of proposed changes. Using the `module` keyword for namespaces is [proposed for deprecation in TypeScript 6.0](microsoft/TypeScript#54500 (comment)) so it's worth getting ahead of this.
