How to make a shell executable node file using TypeScript

Question

Normally in node files I just put

#!/usr/bin/env node 

at the top and make it executable to create a file that can be run from a bash terminal.

I don't have enough reputation points to post a comment, but I'd just thought it'd be good for everyone to know that I opened a new issue on GitHub since that's what the Typescript devs are using to track things like this: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/2749 .
