[MonoDevelop] TypeScript support in MonoDevelop?

[Mike Christensen]

Yea, I think you'd want it to work like the Visual Studio 2012 plugin..
 Judging by the TypeScript playground on their site, it seems like the
compiler can do all that stuff in real time as you type..

Also, since the compiler can generate source maps, it'd be awesome if the
debugger could take advantage of that while debugging..
