Class LocalTypeName

The local name for a type in a particular scope.

It is possible for two distinct local type names to refer to the same underlying type through imports or type aliases. For example:

namespace A {
  export class C {}
}
namespace B {
  import C = A.C;
}

In the above example, two distinct local type names exist for the type C: one in A and one in B. Since a local type name is always specific to one scope, it is not possible for the two namespaces to share a single local type name for C.

There may be multiple declarations of a given local type name, for example:

interface Point { x: number; }
interface Point { y: number; }

In the above example, the two declarations of Point refer to the same local type name.
