Expected Behaviour

In rollup-plugin-dts, I synthesize a fake AST for typescript definitions.

As an example, I turn the following TS code:

interface A {}
declare const a: A;
export declare function typeQuery(): typeof a;

Into a synthetic AST representing something like:

function A() {}
function a(_1 = A) {return [_1]}
function typeQuery(_2 = typeQuery, _3 = a) {return [_2,_3]}
export {typeQuery}

For various reasons, I use parameters and defaults to link between items and make sure that referenced things are being retained.

In particular, looking at the synthetic AST, I would expect that A is retained because I could "in theory" get a reference to it by doing a typeQuery()[1]()[0].

Actual Behaviour

As reported in Swatinem/rollup-plugin-dts#208, the recent changes in #4510 broke this use-case.

As the REPL shows, the synthetic example is being reduced to:

function a(_1) {return [_1]}
function typeQuery(_2 = typeQuery, _3 = a) {return [_2,_3]}

export { typeQuery };

That seems to be wrong, as I can no longer get to A by doing typeQuery()[1]()[0].
