In addition to being unable to declare the same block-scoped variable in multiple files (e.g. the commands file and a spec file, or multiple spec files), I am also unable to declare two functions with the same name.

It seems like TypeScript is treating my spec files and command file as scripts with shared scope, as described here. This behavior prevents me from migrating our Cypress tests to TypeScript.
