Unsafe type-incompatible assignments should not be allowed

TypeScript Version: 2.1.6

Code

interface StringOnly {
  val: string;
}

interface StringOrNull {
  val: string | null;
}

const obj: StringOnly = { val: "str" };

// should not be allowed
const nullable: StringOrNull = obj;

nullable.val = null;

// obj is now in a bad state

Expected behavior:
The sample should not compile, as it's not safe. Type casts/assertions should be required to override type incompatibility errors here. (Or, of course, cloning the object itself const nullable: StringOrNull = { ...str };).

For comparison, Flow does not allow the sample code.

Actual behavior:
The sample compiles and further accesses of str.val will likely result in exceptions.

EDIT: Removed all references to readonly, as discussion of that modifier is overshadowing the issue.

Empieza compilando el ejemplo de TypeScript proporcionado y siguiendo el punto de entrada del type-checker que acepta la asignación de StringOnly a StringOrNull. Compara las reglas de asignabilidad resultantes con la mutación insegura indicada y considera la discusión existente antes de definir qué comportamiento y cobertura de regresión contarían como completados.
