Subclass method is not allowed (TS2425) if the parent class has a property of type any with the same name

TypeScript appears to treat class methods as something fundamentally different from a class prototype property of type function. This is not in agreement with the standard semantics of ES6.

TypeScript Version: all versions, as far as I have been able to test.

Search Terms: method member property any parent class subclass

Code

class Super {
    prop: any;
}

class Derived extends Super {
    prop() {}
}

Expected behavior: should compile without a problem. Note that by the ES6 standard, the above definition of Derived is equivalent to the following, which TypeScript compiles without a problem:

class Derived extends Super {}

Derived.prototype.prop = function(){};

Actual behavior:

Error TS2425: Class 'Super' defines instance member property 'prop', but extended class 'Derived' defines it as instance member function.

Related Issues: I didn't find similar issues, although I started by looking for issues requesting for the ability to disable particular errors (TS2425 in this case). There are several (closed) issues in which such an ability is requested or suggested, but I believe the proper solution would be to bring TypeScript in agreement with ES6. After all, it claims to be a superset!

Start by reproducing the example in the linked TypeScript Playground and trace the check that reports TS2425 for an inherited property of type any versus a subclass method. Compare this with the equivalent prototype assignment described in the issue. Done means the class definition compiles without TS2425 while the relevant inheritance checks remain intact.
