HTMLOptionElement gives error Property 'value' does not exist on type 'Element'.

I’m getting this in this case of an HTMLOptionElement value

It should have that value as HTMLOptionsCollection contains HTMLOptionElement elements: readonly options: HTMLOptionsCollection;

interface HTMLOptionsCollection extends HTMLCollectionOf<HTMLOptionElement> {
    length: number;
    selectedIndex: number;
    add(element: HTMLOptionElement | HTMLOptGroupElement, before?: HTMLElement | number): void;
    remove(index: number): void;
}

Using typescript@2.2.1

My workaround was to use an unnecessary cast let newValue = (target.options[newSelectedIndex] as HTMLOptionElement).value

Please fix!

That would be awesome!
