Expected result

As the import is referenced in the JSDoc, it should not be flagged as an unused import.

Removing this import causes tsc to complain (rightfully) that it doesn't know what type this is. (tsc checking JS files). This happens a lot when you are passing a certain type to a function, but never need to create it. You never explicitly reference the typename but access its properties.
