String literals are failing

[npenin]

Assembly script fails on parsing union string literals (https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/everyday-types.html#literal-types). An example as simple as this fails:

export type BufferEncoding = 'utf8' | 'ascii';

ERROR TS1005: 'null' expected.

 export type BufferEncoding = 'utf8' | 'ascii';

union string literals doesn't support yet

[npenin]

Is there anyway I can help to make this happen ?

The implementation of only union string literals (without mixed types like "str" | 123 | true) should not be too difficult. The only place where there may be difficulties is in type checking (diagnostics).

If AS treats a string union as just string (for now, at least), then (I think...) TypeScript will be able to handle the rest (f.e. good type errors in VS Code or with tsc).
