title: Typescript : Alias a long module name
body: <p>I looked this up already, going to the following questions:</p>
  <h3><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13851990/alias-external-module-in-typescript">Alias External Module in TypeScript</a></h3>
  <h3><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15541843/type-reference-without-full-namespace">Type reference without full namespace</a></h3>
  <p>But I am still confused. This is not a &quot;requirement&quot;, just a desire. I am using <code>Kendo UI</code> and their MVVM architecture in Typescript, and I find myself constantly typing this out ...</p>
  <pre><code>class Item extends ItemPrototype {
     public Quality: kendo.data.ObservableObject = new kendo.data.ObservableObject();
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>Yeah, that works fine, but it is getting obnoxious. Is there a way I can set up typescript to let me use a short hand? Like ...</p>
  <pre><code>class Item extends ItemPrototype {
     public Quality: observable = new observable();
  }
  </code></pre>
