• 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

⭐ Suggestion

Hey TypeScript team! First of all, super excited to hear about tsgo.

I've got a feature request for y'all -- the body of this issue was ported from a playground that I created:

https://tsplay.dev/NljeQW

Basically, I often find myself using the satisfies operator to define mutable tuples inline:

const base = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] as const satisfies any[]
//    ^?  const base: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Sometimes when working with tuples of a known length, I use labels, because why not? Free semantics!

But to get the behavior I'm after, I have to add a layer of indirection.

const ex = [0, 0] as const
type Example = never | [x: typeof ex[0], y: typeof ex[1]]
const example: Example = [...ex]
//    ^? const example: [x: 0, y: 0]

This makes the code more confusing to read, which makes the tradeoff basically a wash.

Feature Request

Allow any labels passed to satisfies to participate in type inference, like so:

const point = [0, 0] as const satisfies [x: any, y: any]
// 
//     Desired type:
//     ^? const point: [x: 0, y: 0]
//                      ^     ^

Let me know if you'd like a more complex example, or if there's anything else I can provide.

💻 Use Cases

1. What do you want to use this for?

Adding free semantics

3. What shortcomings exist with current approaches?

Requires a layer of indirection + introduces the possibility of drift

5. What workarounds are you using in the meantime?

Beginnen Sie mit dem verlinkten TypeScript Playground und reproduzieren Sie die Beispiele zu satisfies, as const und labeled tuples. Das Issue nennt keine Quelldateien oder Tests; abgeschlossen ist es, wenn über satisfies bereitgestellte Labels an der Inferenz teilnehmen und dabei die demonstrierten Tupel-Elementtypen erhalten bleiben.
