Description

Hi,

We are from the ApplicationInsights team and on updating the npm package to 1.13.0 we are now getting this error.
We are currently using ts v2.5.3 and as of today we cannot update to a later version because of issues with teams that consume our generated code.

Compiling...
Using tsc v2.5.3
common/temp/node_modules/tslib/tslib.d.ts(37,78): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'PropertyKey'.
common/temp/node_modules/tslib/tslib.d.ts(37,103): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'PropertyKey'.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with TypeScript 2.5.3, an ES3 target, and tslib 1.13.0, then inspect node_modules/tslib/tslib.d.ts around line 37. Compare the declaration’s use of PropertyKey with the compiler’s supported types. Done means the reported compilation errors no longer occur for this setup.
