TypeScript Version: 2.3.4

Code

In this example, the type def Props fails because of the intersection syntax, which is not supported by JSDoc:

{
  /** @typedef { { foo: number } & { bar: number } } Props */
  /** @type {function(Props): Props} */
  const fn = props => props;
  fn({ foo: 'x' }); // <-- expected error, got none
}

Is TypeScript planning to extend the JSDoc syntax to support TypeScript syntax within the comments, or is it only following the official JSDoc standard?

For context, this would be useful because we are gradually introducing TypeScript to our codebase via checkJs. As a workaround, I am putting these typings into a declaration file on a global namespace:

declare namespace MyTypings {
  export type Props = { foo: number } & { bar: number }
}

{
  /** @type {function(MyTypings.Props): MyTypings.Props} */
  const fn = props => props;
  fn({ foo: 'x' }); // <-- error as expected
}
