Repro Code

// Using plain eslint, the following is not reported as an error

/* eslint/prefer-const: "error" */
/* exported a */ let a = 2;

// However, using this package, the same expression is reported as an error
/* exported a */ let a = 2; // 'a' is never reassigned. Use 'const' instead

ESLint Config

module.exports = {
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  rules: {
    "prefer-const": "error",
  },
};

tsconfig

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    // ...
  }
}

Expected Result

In eslint-plugin-svelte, I am rewriting the prefer-const rule because, in Svelte, there are variable declarations that some users may prefer not to be reported as const. Since the svelte-eslint-plugin uses @typescript-eslint, I expect the base rule to exhibit the same behavior.

Actual Result

The rule report is inconsistent.

Additional Info

I've been researching for a bit and seems like typescript-eslint does not mark a Variable as eslintUsed the same way it does eslint, therefore comments such as /* exported do not set eslintUsed to true.
