hasOwnProperty

Suggestion

interface Object {
    hasOwnProperty<Key extends PropertyKey>(v: Key): this is this & Record<Key, unknown>;
}

Use Cases

To be able to use the property of an object after it has been tested for its existence. Current behavior:

// Property 'testProp' does not exist on type 'object'.(2339)
obj.hasOwnProperty('testProp') && typeof arg.testProp === 'string'

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

This wouldn’t be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
This wouldn’t change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
This isn’t a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript’s Design Goals.

Duplicate of #18282.

You say it’s a duplicate, but it seems their example was a far inferior attempt? None of the examples in #18282 would be as seamless as this is this & Record<Key, unknown> Maybe due to 3 years ago when TS was not as mature.

PS: if this can be ‘fixed’ for 'testProp' in obj that would be amazing too.
