###### TODO ######

We currently extend base `no-unused-vars` implementation because it's easier and lighter-weight.

Because of this, there are a few false-negatives which won't get caught.
We could fix these if we fork the base rule; but that's a lot of code (~650 lines) to add in.
I didn't want to do that just yet without some real-world issues, considering these are pretty rare edge-cases.

These cases are mishandled because the base rule assumes that each variable has one def, but type-value shadowing
creates a variable with two defs

--- type-only or value-only references to type/value shadowed variables ---
--- NOTE - TS gets these cases wrong

type T = 1;
const T = 2; // this T should be unused

type U = T; // this U should be unused
const U = 3;

const _V = U;


--- partially exported type/value shadowed variables ---
--- NOTE - TS gets these cases wrong

export interface Foo {}
const Foo = 1; // this Foo should be unused

interface Bar {} // this Bar should be unused
export const Bar = 1;
