PropertyDecorator factory with generic type is not so intelligent

Code

export const Reactive = <T, K extends keyof T>(
  setter?: (this: T, value?: T[K]) => boolean | void,
) => (target: T, propertyKey: K) => {
  // do something
};

class Test {
  @Reactive(function(name) {
    // error
  })
  name: string
}

Expected behavior:
Automatically detect this should be type of Test, and name should be type of string

Actual behavior:
Argument of type '"name"' is not assignable to parameter of type 'never'.

Maybe this is the same Issue as I have.

I would expect that this would cry a river at @testProperty('shouldNotWork') but it doesn't:

function testProperty<T>(otherProperty: keyof T): PropertyDecorator {
    return (target, propertyKey) => {
        // ... some code
    };
}

class Test {
    @testProperty('shouldWork')
    test: boolean = true;
    @testProperty('shouldNotWork')
    test2: boolean = true;
    shouldWork: boolean = true;
}

My current workaround is to define the type manually like this:

class Test2 {
    @testProperty<Test2>('shouldWork')
    test: boolean = true;
    @testProperty<Test2>('shouldNotWork')
    test2: boolean = true;
    shouldWork: boolean = true;
}
