Conflicting definitions for Set constructor causes unexpected default generic in TS 3.5

TypeScript Version: 3.4.5 vs versions after 3.5

Search Terms: set constructor setconstructor unknown

Code

let s = new Set();

Expected behavior:

In TS 3.4: we expect the default chosen param to give us a Set<{}>.
In TS 3.5: we expect a Set<unknown>.
That change was an intended change in TS 3.5.

Or, if Set has a default generic arg, I expect the same default chosen in 3.4 and 3.5.

Actual behavior:

In TS 3.4, this actually was a Set<any>!

It appears there are multiple overloads of the Set constructor.

lib.es2015.collection.d.ts says:

    new <T = any>(values?: ReadonlyArray<T> | null): Set<T>;

while lib.es2105.iterable.d.ts says:

    new <T>(iterable?: Iterable<T> | null): Set<T>;

Note that one has T = any and the other doesn't.

So somehow TS 3.4 vs TS 3.5 decided to change whether to obey the any default, I think?

首先比较 lib.es2015.collection.d.ts 和 lib.es2105.iterable.d.ts 中 Set 构造函数的重载，然后在 TypeScript 3.4.5 和 3.5 下复现所提供的 new Set() 示例。当构造函数声明和泛型推断在受影响的各个版本中都符合预期行为时，即表示完成。
