`typeChecker.getTypeArguments` returns unexpected extra type argument

TypeScript Version: 3.8.3

Search Terms: getTypeArguments

Code

Given input like

class X extends Y<string> {}

Call typeChecker.getTypeArguments(typeChecker.getTypeAtLocation(...)) on the Y<string> node.

Expected behavior: You get back one type argument (string).

Actual behavior: You get back two, string and X.

I imagine this is maybe something around how TS handles this typing internally, but as a user of the API I'm not sure I can predict when this function returns these or not.
