TsLint complains with "missing 'use strict'". But if I use:

module SomeModule{

it complains with 'expected an assignment or function call'. Why am I in this Catch22 situation ?

Do you mean 'Use Strict' with proper casing (I assume not) or that the directive should be outside the module ?

That goes back to 2012 and is marked as fixed. FWIW the javascript generated by my original example looks like:

var SomeModule;
(function (SomeModule){
    "use strict";
    //etc

What does yours look like if you place 'use strict' before the module ?
