### Make `new Array()` return `unknown[]`

With `new Array()` you can introduce `any`'s into your code:

```ts
import "@total-typescript/ts-reset/new-array";

const arr = new Array(); // unknown[]

const arr2 = new Array(10); // length is 10, but the type is unknown[]

const inferred = new Array(1, 2, 3); // number[]
```

## Rules we won't add

### `Object.keys`/`Object.entries`
