TypeScript compile and keep comments

typescript tsc

I like to have my comments intact in the resulting javascript file, by default the compiler removes them. Is there a tsc parameter for that? (The use case is to keep /// reference path's = ... for chutzpah unit testing. )

Comments that start with /*! are preserved.

example:
/*! this comment remains untouched */
/* but this one will be removed */
