Weird behaviour of VSCode with the types for a function definition

[callmekatootie]

I am trying to work with the Ports feature under Plasmo Messaging - Reference

In my content script, I have defined the following import statement:

import { getPort } from "@plasmohq/messaging/port"

When I hover over the getPort token, I see the following function definition:

I then proceed to use the function in my code as follows:

const timerPort = getPort("timer")

But I get an error from typescript:

Not sure what I am doing wrong here. I thought there was a name conflict so I aliased getPort() to something else on import, but I still get the error.
