In Aura, we can do

$A.get('e.force:refreshView').fire();

to cause standard components to update.

How can we do an equivalent in LWC because sfdx refuses to publish .js code with $A in it saying the usage is disallowed in LWC?

For now i tricked it with 

eval("$A.get('e.force:refreshView').fire();");

but that is obviously less than ideal....
