✅ Viability Checklist

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
• This isn't a request to add a new utility type: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/No-New-Utility-Types
• This feature would agree with the rest of our Design Goals: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/TypeScript-Design-Goals

Beginne mit dem vorgeschlagenen mixin-Beispiel und dem motivierenden Vergleich, um die akzeptierte Ausdrucksform und ihr Verhalten bei der Typprüfung zu definieren. Verfolge anschließend die Compiler-Einstiegspunkte für Klassendeklarationen und -ausdrücke und überprüfe dann, dass das Beispiel die Typprüfung besteht und sich an der Laufzeitausgabe nichts ändert.
