This PR fixes an issue when strictFunctionTypes: true. This code failed:

type K = 'foo' | 'bar'
const record: Record<K, boolean> = { foo: true, bar: false };
Object.keys(record).forEach((key: K) => {
}); 

with the error:

Argument of type '(key: K) => void' is not assignable to parameter of type '(value: string, index: number, array: string[]) => void'.
  Types of parameters 'key' and 'value' are incompatible.
    Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'K'.

All CLA requirements met.

Doesn't look like this is using the right overload. Your code is only compiling because you can assign a function (i.e. (key: K) => {}) whose argument is a subset of type A to a function whose argument is A. For example, this is valid:

const abc: (def: number | string) => void = (def: number) => {}

It appears that it was using src/lib/es5.d.ts, not lib/lib.es5.d.ts. Now it is Object.keys(record) : K[] !

[calebsander]

I think the change should only be in src. lib is auto-generated from that folder.

why did this changed to never ?

[DanielRosenwasser]

{} has no properties, so keyof will return the empty union (i.e. `never)

[DanielRosenwasser]

This won't work because the object could have keys the static type isn't describing, so you can get values at runtime which you didn't expect.

See other discussion about trying to tie in Object.keys and keyof together: #12870, #13971, #24243, #25832, #26901
