Export as namespace should support dots

export, as, namespace

Suggestion

Export as namespace should support dots:

export class SDK {}
export as namespace vendor.namespace1;

export class AnotherSDK {}
export as namespace vendor.namespace2;

Use Cases

Currently TS forces to pollute global scope like so: VendorNameSpace1.SDK and VendorNameSpace2.AnotherSDK. Or if only Vendor namespace is used then there is a chance that multiple packages may have collision.

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript / JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. new expression-level syntax)
