Contextual typing of spread elements

[JsonFreeman]

The following gets contextually typed:

var x: ((p: string) => number)[] = [p => p.length];

But the following arguably should also be:

var x: ((p: string) => number)[] = [...[p => p.length]];

Same is true for calls:

function foo(...rest: ((p: string) => number)[]) {}
foo(p => p.length);

So we should do it for the following as well:

function foo(...rest: ((p: string) => number)[]) {}
foo(...[p => p.length]);

Supported on the grounds of consistency, but at the same time there's no reason to spread a bare literal, so what's the point?

Yeah that makes sense.
