Which problem is this PR solving?
Stumbled upon this #5333. If it creates conflicts I'm perfectly happy with @brianphillips absorbing these into there.
This makes the intent more clear, and makes the invalid signature
addEvent(name, timeStamp1, timeStamp2)
explicitly illegal in TS.This has always been the intent, and the textual documentation somewhat implies that already.
Technically, this is breaking change for TypeScript users. There are situations previously valid TS code will stop being accepted by the type checker, even if the code is semantically valid. It mostly arises when the caller is trying to propagate the same-ish overload signature. It can still be done safely, just requires a bit more care.
In any case, this will go into the 2.0 release so it's a great time to make this change.
That being said, the change/breakage may be too in the weeds to warrant a CHANGELOG entry? Not sure.
