// It is currently not possible to automatically type yaml import with
// Typescript types, so we manually watch the yaml file containing the rules,
// convert it to json and persit it on the file system so that we can access the
// list of dotted names in the Typescript types.
//
// A fututre version of typescript may support "plugin" to type files such as
// yaml.
