[Array.prototype.reduce] TS infers accumulator type as any[]

[svr93]

TypeScript Version: 3.7-Beta, "noImplicitAny" compiler mode

Search Terms:
Array.prototype.reduce, reduce type inference, reduce implicit any

Code

const result = [1].reduce((acc, item) => {
    acc.push(item)
    return acc
}, [])

result[0].toLowerCase()

Expected behavior:

1. result implicitly has type any[] -> compiler error ("noImplicitAny")
   or
2. result has type unknown[] -> compiler error

Actual behavior:
result has type any[], no errors

P.S. It seems reasonable to align behavior with other empty array cases, e.g.:

let x = {
    array: [] // Object literal's property 'array' implicitly has an 'any[]' type
}

let x = []
x[0].toLowerCase() // Variable 'x' implicitly has type 'any[]' in some locations where its type cannot be determined

We should try to write a new definition of reduce that produces the desired behavior in all cases
