Description
``` typescript
interface SVGFEComponentTransferElement {
appendChild(newChild: SVGFEFuncAElement): SVGFEFuncAElement;
appendChild(newChild: SVGFEFuncBElement): SVGFEFuncBElement;
appendChild(newChild: SVGFEFuncGElement): SVGFEFuncGElement;
appendChild(newChild: SVGFEFuncRElement): SVGFEFuncRElement;
appendChild(newChild: Comment): Comment;
}
interface SVGFEMergeElement {
appendChild(newChild: SVGFEMergeNodeElement): SVGFEMergeNodeElement;
appendChild(newChild: Comment): Comment;
}
...
```
to override the generic appendChild(Node) inherited from Node, and so on. This would make it an error to append a `` to a `` for example.
