interface Base {
  id: number;
}

interface Derived extends Base {
  name: string;
}

const items: Base[] = [];

let item1: Derived;
let item2: Derived;

item1 = { id: 1, name: 'this is ok regardless' };
items.push(item1);

items.push((item2 = { id: 2, name: 'this is NOT ok in 5.0.4, but is ok in 4.9.5' }));

🙁 Actual behavior

'Object literal may only specific known properties' error

🙂 Expected behavior
