export default abstract class doesn't work

[alex-kinokon]

TypeScript Version: 1.8.10

Code

export default abstract class Sample {
  // methods here.
}

Expected behavior:

"use strict";
var Sample = (function () {
    function Sample() {
    }
    return Sample;
}());
Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });
exports.default = Sample;

Actual behavior:

[ts] Cannot find name 'abstract'.
[ts] ';' expected.    // at the word `class`

Combinations that work:

export abstract class Sample {}

abstract class Sample {}
export default Sample;

Two second search to find it is a duplicate of #3792

@kitsonk Sorry. I couldn’t find it.

"export default abstract" returns the original issue and about 5 other duplicates of it...
