JSDoc comment on JS class property isn't inherited when derived class also initializes it

Bug Report

When a JS class extends another, and members are overridden in the constructor, they will lose all of their documentation - even if they are compatible values.

Note the type info when hovering over this.a in Derived's constructor, or a in the bottom line.

💻 Code

class Base
{
    constructor()
    {
        /** I am an integer! */
        this.a = 100;
    }
}

class Derived extends Base
{
    constructor()
    {
        super();

        this.a = 50;

// hover over this.a above to see the issue
    }
}

// hover over a to see the issue as well
new Derived().a

🙁 Actual behavior

a was overridden by Derived, even though it is a type match.

🙂 Expected behavior

While I can see the usefulness here if a was a different/incompatible type entirely, I would rather an error occur on, for instance, this.a = "str"; because a is a number, not a string, and for it to inherit the JSDoc properly. It seems like this.xxx in a constructor declares a new variable, even if it inherits one.

Beginne mit dem verlinkten TypeScript Playground und reproduziere das Hover-Verhalten für this.a in Derived und new Derived().a. Verfolge, wie die JavaScript-Klassenkonstruktoren und der JSDoc-Kommentar interpretiert werden, und überprüfe anschließend, dass kompatible Überschreibungen die Dokumentation beibehalten und inkompatible Zuweisungen diagnostiziert werden.
