 The rule accepts a single string option which may be one of:
 
  - `'prefer-inline'` - enforces that named type-only specifiers are only ever written with an inline marker; and never as part of a top-level, type-only import.
- - `'prefer-top-level'` - enforces that named type-only specifiers only ever written as part of a top-level, type-only import; and never with an inline marker.
+ - `'prefer-top-level'` - enforces that named type-only specifiers are only ever written as part of a top-level, type-only import; and never with an inline marker.
+ - `'prefer-top-level-if-only-type-imports'` - enforces that named type-only specifiers must use a top-level, type-only import when all named imports are types; if some are values, then inline markers are allowed. This is useful when you generally prefer inline but you are using TypeScript `verbatimModuleSyntax` and want all-type imports omitted by bundlers.
 
 By default the rule will use the `prefer-inline` option.
