Definitelytyped: @types/globalize: globalize/index.d.ts is not a module

• [X] I tried using the @types/globalize package and had problems.
• [X] [Mention](https://github.com/blog/821-mention-somebody-they-re-notified) the authors (see Definitions by: in index.d.ts) so they can respond.

In the Globalize documentation, there is

var Globalize = require( "globalize" );

but when I try to do

import * as Globalize from "globalize";
// OR
import Globalize = require("globalize");

I have the error : @types/globalize/index.d.ts is not a module.

But if I ignore the error, it works in runtime.

Here's what to do:

• Delete declare var Globalize: GlobalizeStatic;.
• Move all the interfaces into:

declare namespace globalize {
    interface DateFormatterOptions { ... }
    ...other interfaces...
}

• Delete /// <reference types="cldrjs" /> and use:

declare var globalize: globalize.Static;
export as namespace Globalize;
export = globalize;

You should now be able to import Globalize = require("globalize");.
Also, could you fix the tests? Apparently they were commented out in #4872. No idea what they should be like now since they don't work any more.
