Describe the Bug

In this code sample, the export statement is hoisted, but as const is not.

---
export const allAboutUsPreviewCards = [
] as const;
---

as const is correctly hoisted if the const declaration is only takes up one line.

This is an issue with esbuild. I suggest filing an issue there: link to their playground

After looking at the response in the esbuild issue, it's clear this is an issue with the compiler.

Export statements are hoisted, which is a term we use for moving code such that it runs at the top-level instead of component-level. It seems like the the variable declaration itself is hoisted, but as const is not, creating invalid typescript code.

Updated the issue description to focus on incorrect compilation.
