Context
Currently we're exporting our bindings as such:
Unable to find source-code formatter for language: ts. Available languages are: actionscript, ada, applescript, bash, c, c#, c++, cpp, css, erlang, go, groovy, haskell, html, java, javascript, js, json, lua, none, nyan, objc, perl, php, python, r, rainbow, ruby, scala, sh, sql, swift, visualbasic, xml, yaml
export * as binding from "./binding";
And the types are used in various ways:
*A: Accessing binding:*

import { binding } from "./internal"; // Use e.g. `Realm` binding.Realm
B: Importing only the types that are used:

import { Realm } from "./binding";
C: Importing only the types that are used but renaming them:

import { Realm as BindingRealm } from "./binding";
Suggestion
To conform to one way of using them and prevent name conflicts, we can modify the generated bindings to already be prefixed with Binding. Then we could export it without renaming them as such:

Available languages are: actionscript, ada, applescript, bash, c, c#, c++, cpp, css, erlang, go, groovy, haskell, html, java, javascript, js, json, lua, none, nyan, objc, perl, php, python, r, rainbow, ruby, scala, sh, sql, swift, visualbasic, xml, yaml
export * from "./binding";
..and import it as such (directly from "./internal"):

import { BindingRealm } from "./internal";
