I'm converting our build process which used to leverage tsc --watch having our index.js entrypoint import from build\app.js to use react-native-typescript-transformer.
Declaring a string literal type which has backticks in it does not work.
So, this used to compile & run fine:
type a = `test`;
Error Output:
error: bundling failed: SyntaxError: .../file.ts: Unexpected token

We can get past this by converting our string literal to not use the backticks and get by the error fine. So the following works:
type a = 'test'

Any thoughts on what's happening here?
