Current behavior
If i have InjectionToken i cant assign it to ViewChildren or ContentChildren as mentioned in #12758 Maybe due to changes of Typescript.
Expected behavior
This code is working if you type it to <any> but without it cant be compiled using typescript.
Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions
This will not compile :).
export const SomeClassToken = new InjectionToken<SomeClass>('SomeClassToken');
export class TestClass
{
@ViewChildren(SomeClassToken)
public children: QueryList<SomeClass>;
}What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
It should compile, because it works if typed to <any>.
