Alas, no:

    foo.ts:1:10 - error TS2393: Duplicate function implementation.

Like this:

It's a bit of a hack, though - if you incorrectly implement myFunc so that, say, it returns a string even when x is true, it can violate the overloading assertions without any error or warning.

  • Thanks! If anyone else is playing along, to get this to work with tsc I needed to use "--strict".

    Being able to use a function along those lines in a type safe manner is still pretty nifty, even if you can't write it with type safety.
