"Failed to convert type" when re-exporting a wildcard import

[christopherthielen]

I ran across this error when updating typedoc-plugin-external-module-name to 0.20. My plugin's functional tests re-export a named splat import from a child module.

Fixed in 0.20.12, thanks for the report!

I wasn't entirely sure what to use as the names for these reference types... including user paths in docs isn't great. I opted for __module, unless it was a type in the form of import("x").Y, in which case I use Y.
