alternate to current main parameter's syntax

[cmichaelgraham]

I'd like you to implement an option for an alternate to the current syntax generated for the main parameter. This is what I would like it to look like:

declare module 'aurelia-metadata' {
    export * from 'aurelia-metadata/index';
}

If you were to do that (and with the more complete fix here), i will be able to automatically generate the Aurelia type definition files.

here's the code i use at the end of the generate function to output the above syntax:

        if (options.main) {
            output.write(("declare module '" + options.name + "' {") + eol + indent);
            output.write(("export * from '" + options.main + "';") + eol);
            output.write('}' + eol);
            sendMessage("Aliased main module " + options.name + " to " + options.main);
        }

I would like to second this as well.

Edit
Just realised we need

declare module 'aurelia-metadata' {
    export {default} from 'aurelia-metadata/index';
    export * from 'aurelia-metadata/index';
}

If we have a default export?

I think we need to consider namespace wrapping as well, since module is no longer the preferred way of isolating these things.

+1 In my case I have an index.js as the main, and the generator outputs:

declare module 'tss-lib/index'

it would be great if it could output:

declare module 'tss-lib'
