Assertion signature on contextual 'this'-parameter doesn't narrow and has no error

TypeScript Version: 4.2.0-dev.20210101

Search Terms: asserts this

Expected behavior:

Consistent behavior. Either

• this.assert(v) narrows v
• this.assert has an error about missing type annotation, no narrowing, this.returnNever() should not mark the following code as unreachable

Actual behavior:

No narrowing from asserts, no error on call expression, never-returning function has control flow effect.

Code

declare function makeContextualThisParameter<T>(cb: (this: T) => any): void;

makeContextualThisParameter<{assert(v: any): asserts v}>(function() {
    const v = Boolean();
    this.assert(v); // expected error here
    v; // or narrowing `v: true` here
});

makeContextualThisParameter<{returnNever(): never}>(function() {
    this.returnNever();
    debugger; // this is marked as unreachable
});

Playground Link: Provided

Riproduci gli esempi di this contestuale nell’issue con TypeScript 4.2.0-dev.20210101 e le opzioni del compilatore indicate, usando il link fornito a Playground come punto di partenza. Traccia il modo in cui le firme di asserzione e le chiamate che restituiscono never influenzano il narrowing e la raggiungibilità, quindi aggiungi una copertura di regressione che mostri il comportamento previsto della diagnostica o del narrowing.
