bigint not loosely comparable to number

[Trevor-Strong]

Bug Report

Currently, tsc sees this as an error stating

This condition will always return 'false' since the types 'number' and 'bigint' have no overlap.
which is not the case. The spec for bigint, which states that an expression like 1n == 1 would
be true since, conceptually, 1 and 1n are the same value.

number, bigint, loose equals

💻 Code

console.log(1 == 1n);

🙁 Actual behavior

This creates an error at compile time since tsc thinks that 1 == 1n will never be true, which is simply not the case.
