Union and intersection types

Interesting so far, isn't it? What would you say then to it: in TypeScript, we can refer to multiple types at once. For example, we have two interfaces Anakin and Padmé and need a new type (Luke) that inherits from both of them. We can achieve it as easily as this:

interface Anakin { 
  useLightSaber: () => void; 
  useForce: () => void; 
} 
interface Padmé { 
  leaderSkills: string[]; 
  useGun: () => void; 
} 
type Luke = Anakin & Padmé;

function joinRebelion( luke: Anakin & Padmé ){   
}

We can also define a union type that allows any type of a group. You know the jQuery library, right? The function jQuery accepts for a selector parameter a number ...
