The only "breaking" change is a stricter type check for keyof, and strict type checking is the entire reason for existence of TypeScript.

Yes, breaking changes potential break things, the point being in this case Typescript is getting better at doing its job and the change is rather minor.

Also it clearly states: "use --keyofStringsOnly compiler option to disable the new behavior"

Apologies, my comment was not a complaint. I'm all for type safety and a huge fan of typescript!
