why TypeScript doesn't support Type.property in addtion to lookup types like Type['property']

I find the former much more readable, but I guess there must be a reason why it's not supported.

for reference, here are two issues in which this is discussed

the TLDR version is that it would conflict with namespaces

• https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/30815
• https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/12962

it's real shame both issues have been closed.

According to Typescript maintainer Ryan Cavanaugh, this is working as intended.
