Autocomplete parenthesis after type assertion

[tinganho]

Is it possible if TS could autocomplete type assertion?

When typing this:

html as HTMLAreaElement)

it autocompletes to this:

(html as HTMLAreaElement)

Really painful to go back and type that left parenthesis.

TypeScript does not do any thing now with brace completion. the brace completion you get in sublime/atom/vscode are built in to the editors and TS is not contributing to them. we have an issue tracking adding support for it in VS in #1484, i expect when we do this we will add some service APIs around it. this issue would be something we should revisit then.
