TypeScript usage seems a little cumbersome

[ammulder]

This is the best I can come up with:

import * as CreateSTLLoader from "three-stl-loader";
import * as THREE from "three"; // For the STLLoader
...
CreateSTLLoader(THREE);
let loader = new (<any>THREE).STLLoader();

I'm afraid I'm not sure whether I'm overlooking something, or what would be involved in making a better solution if I'm not. For what it's worth, I'm using @types/three for TypeScript definitions of Three.js itself.

hmm, i don't like that THREE magically gets access to an STLLoader fxn after CreateSTLLoader is called.

in your example, it's no problem. but in a larger file, it could become less clear where THREE's STLLoader came from.
