Interface merging for any property names does not allow type narrowing

TypeScript Version: 4.1.0-dev.20201002

Search Terms: interface merging merge object any name subsequent property declarations

Code

interface PropsContainer {
  props: {
    [propName: string]: any;
  }
}

interface PropsContainer {
  props: {
    [propName: string]: any;
    specialProp: string;
  }
}

Expected behavior:
This should be allowed. The merged interface should result in a type with props that have any prop name as any except for specialProp which is a string.

This would be useful in a case where a third party library (such as @types/react-test-renderer) declare an object type with { [propName: string]: any } syntax, but you want to narrow the value of the property for specific types via interface merging.

Note that even { specialProp?: any, [propName: string]: any } is not allowed even though the types are functionally identical in this case.

Actual behavior:
This results in a Subsequent property declarations must have the same type.

Commencez par la reproduction liée dans TypeScript Playground et confirmez le diagnostic pour les deux déclarations PropsContainer fusionnées. Suivez ensuite le chemin de vérification des types pour les déclarations de propriétés et les signatures d’index suivantes. C’est terminé lorsque la fusion présentée est acceptée, que specialProp est réduit à string et que les redéclarations incompatibles existantes restent rejetées.
