Assigned constructor field parameter

Reports a common mistake in TypeScript code, when a class field is declared as a constructor parameter, and then this parameter is assigned.

In this case, the corresponding field won't be assigned, only the local parameter value is modified.

class Foo {
  constructor(private p: number) {
    p = 1; //must be this.p = 1;
  }
}
