Closure has a transformation which turns:
Service.ngInjectableDef = ...;
into:
Service$ngInjectableDef = ...;
This transformation obviously breaks Ivy in a major way. The solution is
to annotate the fields as @nocollapse. However, Typescript appears to ignore
synthetic comments added to a node during a transformation, so the "right"
way to add these comments doesn't work.
As an interim measure, a post-processing step just before the compiled JS is
written to disk appends the correct comments with a regular expression.
