Overhead code generation for outFile

[pankleks]

I'm compiling my project to single output file using outFile option.

TSC is generating overhead code as such:

This happens for every file of my solution -> in my case hundreds of small files which cause significant overhead in output file.

I believe this could be optimized by merging objects in same namespace.

Test solution:
testmerge.zip

TSC v: 3.1.1 but I believe it was like this since very beginning.

This is actually really difficult because each namespace can have local declarations (variables, functions, ...). These names would need to be rewritten to avoid collisions. After all I don't think it's worth the effort.
You could try some minifiers on the generated file to get rid of the duplicate code.
