  }

declare const a: {} & string;
declare const b: string;
const x = a + b; // Operands of '+' operation must either be both strings or both numbers. Consider using a template literal. (@typescript-eslint/restrict-plus-operands)

Expected Result

No error

Actual Result

Operands of '+' operation must either be both strings or both numbers. Consider using a template literal. (@typescript-eslint/restrict-plus-operands)

Additional Info

The minimal example above might seem nonsense, using {} & string, but it's to be minimal. I encountered a situation in real code involving complex type inferences in which one of the operands apparently ended up being inferred as string | (Buffer & string) (which also seems nonsense, maybe I should open an issue at TS too... Regardless, WhateverType & string is a string, so the linter shouldn't complain).
