On #6805 (comment), and #6805 (comment) maybe we should add some new comment form like: /* (const) {ConstantName} ({ConstantValue}) */.

So:

// vec3.ts

namespace vec3 {
    export const SIZE = 3
    export function create(x, y, z) {...}
    }

Would be adjusted to be:

// vec3.ts

/* (const) vec3.SIZE (3) */

namespace vec3 {
    export const SIZE = 3
    export function create(x, y, z) {...}
    }

For completeness I included the sample client code

// buffer-helpers.ts

interface VectorType {
    SIZE: number
    create: Function
    }

function read(buffer: Float32Array, type: VectorType) {
    // do something that uses type.SIZE
    }

read(someBuffer, vec3)

The compiler would see the comment and emit some helper like this:

var __With = function(Target, Name, Value)
{
        Target[Name] = Value;
        return (Target);
};

Which would be used like:

(function(vec3) {
    vec3.create = function(x, y, z) {...}
    })(vec3)

function read(buffer, type) {
    // Other code
   while (SomeVar < type.SIZE)
   {
         /* Code */
    }
    // Other code
 }

read(someBuffer, __With (vec3, "SIZE", 3))

Could that work or am I just missing all the corner cases?
