Why not use `declare module` typings?

[pauldraper]

Path mappings work, but are rarely used since every downstream TypeScript project also has to set them.

More typical is module declarations.

declare module "N/log" {
}

These are then added by one of:

1. Installing under @types as a npm alias (or having the project in DefinitelyTyped to begin with)
2. Adding typeRoots.
3. Referencing the types via tripe slash /// <reference types="..." />

Note that module declarations is how Node.js typings work (@types/node).
