Improve feedback for abstract class instantiation error messages

SUGGESTION
Recently, I was trying to use a library written in ES2015 in an Ionic 2 project, and kept getting a Cannot instantiate abstract class 'Foo'. Foo is a concrete class that extends abstract class Bar, which extends abstract class Baz. The problem turned out to be a typo in Bar.d.ts (see below), which (I believe) made Typescript think that Foo did not implement some abstract methods of Bar and/or Baz (I'm still not sure which), but it took me a day and half to figure out what was going on. This error message should have more information about why Foo is abstract: Foo is declared as abstract or Foo does not implement abstract methods ...
TypeScript Version: 2.0.9
Code
Baz.d.ts
export as namespace Baz;
declare abstract class Baz {
abstract baz(): string;
}
Bar.d.ts
export as namespace BarTypo;
declare abstract class Bar extends Baz {
abstract foo(): void;
abstract bar(): string;
baz(): string;
}
export { Bar };
Foo.d.ts
import { Bar } from './bar.d';
export as namespace Foo;
declare class Foo extends Bar {
constructor(opts?);
foo(): void;
bar(a: string): string;
}
export { Foo };
otherProject.ts
import { Foo } from 'library';
export class Service {
foo: Foo;
constructor() {
this.foo = new Foo({ opt: true });
}
}
Expected behavior:
Error: Cannot instantiate abstract class 'Foo'. It does not implement abstract method(s): baz.
OR
Error: Cannot instantiate abstract class 'Foo'. It does not implement abstract method(s): foo, bar.
OR
Error: Cannot instantiate abstract class 'Foo'. It does not implement abstract method(s): baz (from Baz); foo, bar (from Bar).
Actual behavior:
Error: Cannot instantiate abstract class 'Foo'.
