Runes are not converted to numbers

[perkrlsn]

Given the following simple example shouldn't rune be converted to a number?

Input

packages:
  - path: "types/src/test"
    output_path: "src/types.ts"
    type_mappings:
      time.Time: "string /* fancy comment */"

package types

import "time"

type TestType string

type TestRune rune

type TestRunes []rune

type TestStruct struct {
    SomeRune *rune
    SomeTime *time.Time
}

Output

// Code generated by tygo. DO NOT EDIT.

//////////
// source: types.go

export type TestType = string;
export type TestRune = rune;
export type TestRunes = rune[];
export interface TestStruct {
  SomeRune?: rune;
  SomeTime?: string /* fancy comment */;
}

Hmm, I'm not sure what the desired behavior is here, the TS type number is much less restricted than rune.

You could use frontmatter to inject something like export type rune = number and you could get this behavior 🤔, would that solve it for you?

rune isn't a valid TypeScript type. Ideally runes would get converted to number. Unless I'm completely mistaken.
