noImplicitReturnType [Suggestion]

We have noImplicitReturns which is great and helps tick up silly mistakes but it woud great to have noImplicitReturnType as well.

So what would noImplicitReturnType do?
Currently we can write a function like so:

function life () {
    return 42;
}
let x = life(); // Number

So all is great, TypeScript works out the return type nicely for us.

function life (x: boolean) {
    if (x) {
        return 'hi';
    } else {
        return 42;
    }
}
let y = life(true); // Number / String

This is where things start to go a little crazy. TypeScript records y as of type number | string which is of course acurate. But what if i wanted this function to only return strings?

We already have support for that with limited modifications

function life (x: boolean): string {
    if (x) {
        return 'hi';
    } else {
        return 42; // Type '42' is not assignable to type 'string'.
    }
}
let y = life(true);

And as a result TypeScript nicly throws an error.

So my suggestion is that in much the same way as with noImplicitAny and let enforcing strict typeing an argument is added in the form of noImplicitReturnType which for my first example (only a single return) wouldn't have any effect but for the second would throw an error instead of typing the function as number | string

Beginne damit, die bestehenden Optionen noImplicitReturns und noImplicitAny mit dem vorgeschlagenen Verhalten von noImplicitReturnType zu vergleichen, das in den Beispielen beschrieben wird. Bestimme die vorgesehenen Diagnosen für Funktionen, deren abgeleiteter Rückgabetyp eine Union ist, und definiere, was für die neue Compileroption als vollständig gelten würde; das Issue nennt keine Dateien oder Tests.
