> How practical such a type system would be... I don't know. Flow type checker for JavaScript makes a distinction between "exact" types, i.e. object must have exactly the properties listed and no more, and "inexact" types where such subtyping is allowed.

TypeScript doesn't have this check (https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/12936) and I've found it can be really error prone when you're wanting to return a copy of an object with some fields updated.
