@namespace creates duplicated namespace in doc

Expected Behavior

Typedoc should generate one namespace entry

Actual Behavior

Typedoc generates two entries

Steps to reproduce the bug

export namespace NS {
  export type T = string;
}
/**
 * @namespace
 */
export const NS = {
  property: 'blah',
};

=> namespace NS with only T in it
=> namespace NS with property in it

I also found a related bug

export type NS  = { foo: string };

/**
 * @namespace
 */
export const NS = {
  property: 'blah',
};

=> This will create a Namespace named NS, with a foo property in it.
=> It seems @namespace is ignored

Environment

• Typedoc version: 0.24.8
• TypeScript version: 5.1.6
• Node.js version: v18.17.1
• OS: macOS

Declaration merging is really annoying and full of weird edge cases...

The second example seems to be working as intended to me. TypeDoc creates a namespace + a type, as expected.

It creates the type and the namespace but the content of the namespace is wrongly generated.

Well, that's weird... I saw there was one property, didn't notice the name was wrong!
