💻 Code

type Tuple = [string, ...number[]];
type TupleIntersection = Tuple & { prop: string };


type TupleRestAccess = Tuple[1];
//   ^ number

type TupleIntersectionRestAccess = TupleIntersection[1];
//   ^ string | number


type TupleSpread = [...Tuple];
//     ^ [string, ...number[]]

type TupleIntersectionSpread = [...TupleIntersection];
//   ^ (string | number)[]

🙁 Actual behavior

TupleIntersection[1] and [...TupleIntersection] both seem to use an overly broad type, matching the number index signature instead of the more narrow spread signature.

What I mean is that TupleIntersection[1] behaves just like Tuple[number] does. This leads me to believe that the number index signature is synthesized correctly but the logic for numeric literals in the range of the spread signature aren't handled.

🙂 Expected behavior

I expected Tuple's behaviour to match TupleIntersection.
