es6.d.ts has incorrect signature for console.log

[bootstraponline]

The default signature for console.log is wrong.

log(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void;

See this code example:

function puts(...optionalParams: any[]): void {
  console.log.apply(this, arguments); // no error

  // Supplied parameters do not match any signature of call target.
  // Method Console.log(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void;
  console.log(...arguments); // see error above
}

If I update the signature to log(...optionalParams: any[]): void; then it works.

until this is fixed, you can explicitly add the overload to one of your files:

interface Console {
    log(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void;
    log(...optionalParams: any[]): void;
}

function puts(...optionalParams: any[]): void {
    console.log(...optionalParams);
}

This isn't wrong, this is a limitation of our semantics for the spread operator.

@DanielRosenwasser do you mind filing an issue for that.

[DanielRosenwasser]

Filed #4759. I'd rather we fixed that instead of the signature for console.log.

Agreed.
