Export types for TS inference

Getting this TS error in Molt Command:

Description

Try fixing this by exporting types from Alge...

See if having another exported entrypoint of alge/types solves this for the consumer.

Repro Steps/Link

The solution sort of worked, however, consumers still need to do at least this:

import type * as _ from 'alge/types'

Maybe there could be a way to export the types onto the Alge namespace so that the inference works without the still confusing workaround? ... We could take them away at Alge.Types.* ...?

Yep that fixed it! At least this case.
