Sorry for not using the template, it didn't seem to apply in this case. This ticket is related to #66. Feel free to close if you think it is covered by other tickets.

TypeScript have merged in a new feature as const (slated for TypeScript 3.4, see microsoft/TypeScript#29510). This should get around many of the times where I need to say things like:

return {
  type: ChunkContents.LINK,
  content: linkMatch[2],
  ref: linkMatch[1],
} as {
  type: ChunkContents.LINK;
  content: string;
  ref: string;
};

It would be great to get the rule no-object-literal-type-assertion to support as const but disallow as someOtherType (at least as an option).
