Link to the rule's documentation

https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/consistent-type-assertions

Description

https://github.com/danielnixon/eslint-plugin-total-functions#total-functionsno-unsafe-type-assertion has some useful options:

• this rule is weaker thanconsistent-type-assertions with itsassertionStyle option set tonever -- this rule will permit type assertions that it considers safe as opposed to blanket banning all type assertions, and
• this rule is stronger thanconsistent-type-assertions with itsobjectLiteralTypeAssertions option set tonever

Can we add these options to@typescript-eslint/consistent-type-assertions?

Fail

typeFoo={readonlybar:number};constfoo={};constfoo2=fooasFoo;foo2.bar.toString();

Pass

typeFoo={readonlybar:number};constfoo={};constfoo2=fooasPartial<Foo>;foo2.bar?.toString();
