Allow getting type information from file without requiring it

[Hedwig7s]

Sometimes you have a module that uses types from another module but doesn't actually need the functionality for it (for example: a module that defines functions that use types from another module which is called elsewhere)

Right now there are 2 options that I know of (if there's another way I'd love to know):
Make a type declaration file (which isn't preferable if you want to define the types where they're made and can be inconvenient)
Forward-declare type without any information (provides no type information within file)

If a better way to handle this situation could be considered that would be great

You can do that today with

local type mod = require("mod")

This will load the type info without outputting a require() call in the generated code.

That should probably be in tutorial.md (either that or I'm blind)

@Hedwig7s I think it isn't! a docs PR with a contribution is most welcome!!
