Default import typescript mismatch

[irv-armenta-g]

I must admit I am not an expert in imports and npm packaging.
in Vite 8 it seems the default import is not working as expected.

import createFuzzySearch from '@nozbe/microfuzz'; 

// createFuzzySearch() -----> is not a function error
// createFuzzySearch.default() ----> actual function but typescript complains about the typing.

My current workout is unkown casting

const microfuzz = (await import('@nozbe/microfuzz'))
        .default as unknown as {
        default: <T>(
          list: T[],
          options?: FuzzySearchOptions
        ) => FuzzySearcher<T>;
      };

in my fix I am using a dynamic import, however, it does not matter, if it's dynamic or not.
