|

|
|
*
|
|
* @remarks
|
|
* Most of API Extractor's output is produced by using the using the `Span` utility to regurgitate strings from
|
|
* the input .d.ts files. If we need to rename an identifier, the `Span` visitor can pick out an interesting
|
|
* node and rewrite its string, but otherwise the transformation operates on dumb text and not compiler concepts.
|
|
* (Historically we did this because the compiler's emitter was an internal API, but it still has some advantages,
|
|
* for example preserving syntaxes generated by an older compiler to avoid incompatibilities.)
|
|
*
|
|
* This strategy does not work for cases where the output looks very different from the input. Today these
|
|
* cases are always kinds of `import` statements, but that may change in the future.
