noImplicitReturns ignored when some return value is any

[ghost]

TypeScript Version: nightly (2.3.0-dev.20170325)

Code

With --noImplicitReturns on:

declare var x: any;
function f() {
    if (1 + 1 === 3) {
        return x;
    }
}

Expected behavior:

The same error we get if we use declare var x: number;: Not all code paths return a value.

Actual behavior:

No error.

This is "working as intended" according to #13112, but I wasn't given an actual explanation for why the issue was closed out.

Seems fairly logical because void is assignable to any. Perhaps I am missing something.

I think the weirder behavior is that this is an error

function f(): undefined {
}

Maybe related #13284.
