Typescript 4.4 breaking change affect retry

[chengB12]

This is doc about typescript 4.4 breaking change: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescript-4-4/#more-compliant-indirect-calls-for-imported-functions

for this code

import { timeouts} from 'retry'

console.log(timeouts({
    retries: 5,
}))

typescript will compile it to

"use strict";
exports.__esModule = true;
var retry_1 = require("retry");
console.log((0, retry_1.timeouts)({
    retries: 5
}));

note it is (0, retry_1.timeouts)(...) and it will have different "this" context

and it will throw error:

**\node_modules\retry\lib\retry.js:34
    timeouts.push(this.createTimeout(i, opts));
                       ^

TypeError: this.createTimeout is not a function
    at exports.timeouts (**\node_modules\retry\lib\retry.js:34:24)

    at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12)
    at node:internal/main/run_main_module:17:47

workaround is use import * as retry from 'retry' instead

The umpteenth error blocking us from upgrading/migrating things... Guess p-retry is the next tool we're replacing, since it depends on this and it doesn't seem this lib is actively maintained, this issue being open for a year and change.
