TS is overly picky when declaring a class constructor type

TypeScript Version: 3.4.0-dev.20190202

Search Terms: class, extend, constructor, any[]

Code

type ClassConstructor = new(...args: any[]) => {}

function mixin<C extends ClassConstructor>(Class: C) {
  return class extends Class {}
}

Expected behavior:

I should be able to replace ...args: any[] with ...args: unknown[], or any other signature.

Actual behavior:

Error: Type 'C' is not a constructor function type. [2507]

Start with the TypeScript Playground link and reproduce the diagnostic using the ClassConstructor and mixin examples in the issue. Trace how the compiler handles extending the generic constructor type and diagnostic 2507. Done means the example compiles when the constructor uses unknown[] or another compatible signature, with appropriate tests added for the behavior.
