Using Typescript + ngMock modules

Question

I'm trying to wrap my head around Typescript, AngularJS, and the ngMock portion. I've seen code to inject a module at the beginning of a unit test like this.

beforeEach(angular.mock.module("myApp"));

I need to provide another service so this works:

beforeEach(module("myApp", function($provide) {
    $provide.value("myService", {
        ...
    });
}));

But if I did

beforeEach(angular.mock.module("myApp", function($provide) {
    $provide.value("myService", {
        ...
    });
}));

The Typescript compiler complains that angular.mock.module only takes one argument. So in the first snippet above, what module is it using? When I go to the definition, it says in the angular-mocks.d.ts:

declare var module: (...modules: any[]) => any;

So what is going on here? I'm not sure if I understand the notation in the definition file to understand if angular.mock.module and module are used the same. Can someone explain this to me?

is "myApp without end quote a typo?

There is an error in the definition. The following two should be the same: https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/angularjs/angular-mocks.d.ts

    // global module
    declare var module: (...modules: any[]) => any;

    // from angular.mock.module
    module(...modules: string[]): any;
    module(...modules: Function[]): any;
    module(modules: Object): any;

If you get the latest definition file its been fixed: https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/pull/2564

There is a flip side: In quite a few cases the definitions are even better than the JavaScript lib's documentation.
