The reply with the typescript definition for ?raw is unrelated to this project and would neither solve the issue presently nor address it in the future. But if you implemented it in your bundler, it absolutely solves this problem exactly as described, because the imported file can have whatever boilerplate you want around it (like `as const`). This is something that exists and is usable today.
2. Typescript runs before your bundler and has no idea what the bundler is doing, so any transformations you do there are invisible to it.
You keep telling me this is possible today, at this point I'd ask you to please prove it, because if it's true then that's very exciting and I have a bunch of use cases for it.
