Description
The docs don't seem to specify from what point onwards (after constructor signature or after constructor execution) parameter properties are available as class members - and hence don't seem to make any indication which of the following is "better":
constructor(private name: string) {
console.log(this.name);
console.log(name);
}

Research direction
Start with the Parameter Properties section in the TypeScript Handbook linked in the issue, and review how the constructor example is currently explained. Clarify when the parameter property is available as a class member and address whether this.name or the parameter name is preferable. Done means the documentation answers this question with an accurate example.
