Aw, man - I'd hoped you'd found something to make this less of a stone-cold pain to do. Instead, it's io-ts again. Which is...interesting...but it really sucks to actually use when you have to manually define every in/out yourself. It's 2018. There's no good reason TypeScript can't emit the type information to just build these (and I don't really mean decorator metadata).

You can add another build step right after the `tsc -w` compilation phase, which takes your .ts files, parses them to find our your types, and emits runtime code that checks your types. That's what you're describing that TypeScript should be doing on its own. But I don't see why you'd want to do this instead of using io-ts? This is more complicated overall.
