Hi, this is an exploration of doing PR reviews of well loved features in TypeScript from the TypeScript compiler team. This can help us understand how features were added, and also explore the context at the time of creation. For folks outside the compiler team - it's a chance to look a bit under the hood at how the compiler is made and the trade-offs taken.

We review  PR 6024: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pull/6024 by Ryan Cavanaugh by covering the main code changes, then running some of the tests through a debugger to see how it works.
