💻 Code
type R<C> = [C, ...R<C>[]] | number; // works, as expected
type S<C> = [C, ...Array<S<C>>] | number; // fails unexpectedly - should work identically
const r: R<"add"> = ["add", 2, 1];
const s: S<"add"> = ["add", 2, 1];
🙁 Actual behavior
The A[] form in the first line works, but the otherwise-identical Array<…> form on the second line breaks with the warning Type alias 'S' circularly references itself.(2456).
🙂 Expected behavior
Both of these should work, and behave identically, as they are merely syntactic sugar for each other.
