Relying on ASI (automatic semicolon insertion)
is allowed in TypeScript because JavaScript allows
it. However, when we run clang-format it doesn’t
understand that these statements are terminated
with a newline and changes the indentation, in bad
cases even breaking the code.
Fixes#817
These wrappers are not natively understood by
ts2dart. Removing them will improve Dart2JS
compilation due to fewer megamorphic calls to List
functions.
It also makes Angular code more succinct and
improves type safety in Angular due to better type
inference of the Array component type.
This change exposed several bugs in Angular.
