Node lets you do util.promisify() within the REPL without importing util because it declares getters for each builtin module.
However, ts-node doesn't tell typescript about these getters, so you'll still get TS errors if you try to util.promisify
We can add a bunch of declare const to the top of the REPL file so that all built-ins are declared.
Limitations:
- Should gracefully skip when
@types/node is not available
