please help me with the following problem. I created default node.js app with express using Visual Studio nodejs tools and now I'm trying to call setTimeout function that is declared in node.d.ts. The code is like this:
```
var timer: NodeTimer;
timer = setTimeout(somecallback, 1000);
```
But the code doesn't compile saying 'Cannot convert 'Number' to 'NodeTimer''
As I understand, the problem is that it takes standard setTimeout function instead of taking the one from node.d.ts.
I tried specifying the reference to node.d.ts with \\\<reference> tag - this doesn't help. How can I state explicitly that I want to use setTimeout from node.d.ts?
Comments: I noticed that you also have a [StackOverflow question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23653113/node-js-with-typescript-calling-node-js-function-instead-of-standard) for the same thing. Since it's really more of a generic TS/node.js question than an NTVS one, I answered it there, so that people who search for a resolution to the same problem will find it more easily (esp. if they don't use NTVS).
