Code

interface A {
    type:'A'
}

interface B {
    type:'B'
}

function assert(x:any) :asserts x is A|B{

}

function foo(x: any): any {
    x;  // any
    assert(x);
    x;  // A | B
    if (x.type === 'A') {
        return x;
    }
    x;  // B
    if (x.type === 'B') {
        return x;
    }
    x;  // B, but should be never.
//  ^?
}

Expected behavior:
the last x should be never.

Actual behavior:
still B.

The reason is isMatchingReferenceDiscriminant function return false at the second time. Declared type is no use here.
