Way of specifying non-enumerable properties

Object assign is defined like below in TS:

interface ObjectConstructor {
    /**
      * Copy the values of all of the enumerable own properties from one or more source objects to a
      * target object. Returns the target object.
      * @param target The target object to copy to.
      * @param source The source object from which to copy properties.
      */
    assign<T, U>(target: T, source: U): T & U;
}

Though from MDN it is only copying members that are enumerable:

The Object.assign() method is used to copy the values of all enumerable own properties from one or more source objects to a target object. It will return the target object.

So if U above has non-enumerable members, TS will copy them anyway. This is slightly incorrect and unsafe.

One issue I recently ran into was

const selection = Object.assign({}, window.getSelection());

I was assuming I was copying all members of the Selection object to {}:

interface Selection {
    readonly anchorNode: Node;
    readonly anchorOffset: number;
    // etc ...
}

declare var Selection: {
    prototype: Selection;
    new(): Selection;
}

Though it didn't copy any members at all, because the Selection object only contains non-enumerable members.

Proposal

Mark properties as non-enumerable

interface Selection {
    readonly nonenum anchorNode: Node;
    readonly nonenum anchorOffset: number;
    // etc ...
}

And have an operator to get the only "enum side" of a type:

interface ObjectConstructor {
    /**
      * Copy the values of all of the enumerable own properties from one or more source objects to a
      * target object. Returns the target object.
      * @param target The target object to copy to.
      * @param source The source object from which to copy properties.
      */
    assign<T, U>(target: T, source: U): T & enumsof U;
}

Bắt đầu với khai báo ObjectConstructor cho Object.assign và ví dụ Selection, sau đó so sánh marker nonenum và toán tử enumsof được đề xuất với hành vi thuộc tính enumerable-own-property của JavaScript. Hoàn tất khi hệ thống kiểu có một cách đã được thống nhất để biểu diễn các thuộc tính enumerable và Object.assign không còn đánh giá quá mức các thành viên được sao chép, với phạm vi bao phủ cho trường hợp được示shown.
