// April 2014, Section 4.6:
|
|
// In the absence of a contextual type, the type of an array literal is C[], where C is the
|
|
// Undefined type(section 3.2.6) if the array literal is empty, or the best common type of
|
|
// the element expressions if the array literal is not empty.
|
|
// When an array literal is contextually typed(section 4.19) by an object type containing a
|
|
// numeric index signature of type T, each element expression is contextually typed by T and
|
|
// the type of the array literal is the best common type of T and the types of the element
|
|
// expressions.
|
|
//
|
|
// While the spec does not say it, an inferential type causes an empty array literal to have
|
|
// the undefined[] type. In other words, the first clause from the excerpt above applies even
|
|
// though there is a "contextual type" present. This is the intention, even though the spec
|
|
// seems to imply the contrary.
|
|
// Therefore, the following access to bar should not cause an error because we infer
|
|
// the undefined[] type.
