We just released TypeScript 3.8 Beta! Try out our new features like type-only imports, and ECMAScript features like private fields, `export * as foo`, top-level 'await', and more!https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescript-3-8-beta/ …

I’m not sure the arguments for using `private` convince me. It’d be cool to have it translated as the # version used by JavaScript instead of having both. Sure, it’s a breaking change but I guess it makes sense to force this correction.
This is not possible. An access to a field would need to have differing emits based on the type of the object (add the hash if it is a private field of the current class). Type-directed imports are an explicit non-goal of TS.
