What I am trying to understand in regards to this.
Is it, that AS3 -> AST needs to deal with those but AST->JS simply
ignore it?
AS3 -> AST -> JS
Type safe we don't care
as long output represents input? Abstract syntax tree is abstract by
definition right?

Well, there is the JavaScript operator "instanceof", what's wrong with

Nothing, but it only works when you actually use the
prototype chain, not when you copy all members from
the superclass to the subclass.
Also, when using ActionScript, you will want to use "is"
for interfaces, where "instanceof" does not work.
Bernd Paradies points out in his
blog<http://blogs.adobe.com/bparadie/2012/10/21/kicking-typescipts-tires/>that
a real drawback
of TypeScript is that there is no runtime type information
about interfaces. The Jangaroo Compiler + Runtime
implement the "is" and "as" operators to work with
interfaces seamlessly and efficiently!
