No compile time warning on using event

[AJamesPhillips]

Is this expected behaviour?

function broken(evt: Event) {
    // Meant to do something with `evt` but typed it incorrectly.
    Event.target;  // Errors correctly
    event.target;  // No error.  Expected behaviour?
}

tsc version: 1.7.5

event has an ambient declaration in lib.d.ts. We've run into similar problems with name. I don't think there's anything we can do about this. Ideally one could write a linter rule forbidding use of these declarations.

Got it. Thanks for the speedy response!
