Typescript: Unable to destructure TypedArrays

[miklossuveges]

TypeScript Version: 2.6.2

Code

const [ foo, bar ] = new Float64Array([42, -42])

Expected behavior:
foo and bar are destructured correctly
All JS engine with support for TypedArrays and destructuring handles this code without any problem

Actual behavior:
Error:error TS2461: Type 'Float64Array' is not an array type.

We could support this for non-rest destructuring; but the current ... emit uses slice which is not present on TypedArrays. @rbuckton thoughts?

[rbuckton]

Array.prototype.slice.call works on typed arrays, so we could change the helper.

[RyanCavanaugh]

@rbuckton I was wrong; slice is present on the typed arrays. Does anything stop us from just removing the type error and running with the current emit?
