This PR fixes #6574.
Sometimes users have the expectation that calling
map
on a homogeneous tuple will create a tuple type of the same size, but with the element types appropriately mapped on. For instance:Now that we have
this
-types, we can actually enable overloads that can only apply if the target object (the thing being dotted on) has a specific type.I'd like to hear feedback from the team (especially @sandersn & @ahejlsberg) about whether this is a good idea. This fulfills a lot of users' expectations, but they could instead just augment
Array<T>
with these overloads if they're interested.Also tagging @philpee2 who asked me about this yesterday.
