💻 Code

Given

declare class X {
	private a: number;
	b: string;
}

You're allowed to do:

type Y = { a: number } & { b: string };
declare let y: Y;
let x: X = y as Y & X;

But fails with:

type Z = Pick<{ a: number }, 'a'> & { b: string };
declare let z: Z;
let x: X = z as Z & X;

🙁 Actual behavior

X bypasses private assignability, but the identical type Y errors.

🙂 Expected behavior

Either neither type is allowed to bypass private assignability, or both types are, since they're identical.
