   I came up with this hack for now:

   function buildTypeDeclarationStatement(name: string, type: ts.TypeNode, sourceFile: ts.SourceFile) {
       const printer = ts.createPrinter()
       const typeString = printer.printNode(ts.EmitHint.Unspecified, type, sourceFile);
       const newSource = ts.createSourceFile('temp.ts', `type ${name} = ${typeString}`, sourceFile.languageVersion);
       return newSource.statements[0];
   }
