Widening and non-widening https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/pull/11126
Need to add docs here https://github.com/basarat/typescript-book/blob/master/docs/types/literal-types.md :rose:
Contributor guide
Research direction
Open docs/types/literal-types.md and read the linked TypeScript PR #11126 to understand the widening and non-widening literal type changes. Update that documentation page to cover both flavors, and consider the work done when the page explains the distinction accurately and clearly.
