iconv-lite not found in imported namespace

[lublak]

If it is the same problem as this one it can be closed immediately: #31

Only solution: disable import/namespace

I would like to use this library.
I use iconv-lite following:

import * as iconv from 'iconv-lite';

iconv.encodingExists('utf8') // error 'encodingExists' not found in imported namespace 'iconv' import/namespace
iconv.decode(buffer, decoding); // error 'decode' not found in imported namespace 'iconv' import/namespace
iconv.encode(text, encoding); // error 'encode' not found in imported namespace 'iconv' import/namespace

There is no need to use declare module 'iconv-lite' in its self declaration package and eslint-plugin-import just don't understand that syntax.

@JounQin thanks. I created a pull request for this.

@JounQin is it possible to override this file in my own project?
I don't expect it to be released in the next few months.
And of course, since I don't want to wait that long, I would need a solution now.

@JounQin thanks :) not the best solution, but I think the only one that exists. Typescript does not support overwriting if I see correctly. So no /myowntypingsfolder/
