This seems like a simple thing, although I know there's probably a reason it's not already like this.

Currently the signature of Object.keys is:

{
  keys(o: object): string[];
}

But why not make it more specific?:

{
  keys<T extends object>(o: T): (keyof T)[];
}

@MartinJohns I'm becoming worried that listing all the duplicates is resulting in an O(n^2) usage of GitHub's storage 😅

Considering how often this and similar questions are asked I have absolutely no doubt that Microsoft / GitHub will run of space in no time!
