TypeScript’s `document.activeElement` returns `Element`. If the `Element` is an `HTMLElement` you have to cast it back every time you use a method not available on `Element` (or ignore/expect the error TS gives when you call `activeElement()`).
In Rust, we would fix this by returning `impl Element`. Is there any equivalent in TS?
