Declaring multiple TypeScript variables with the same type

Question

I\'m coding a large TypeScript class and I\'ve set noImplicitAny to true. Is there any way to declare multiple variables of the same type on the same line?

If you can accept an orphan variable. Array destructuring can do this.

var numberArray:number[]; //orphan variable
var [n1,n2,n3,n4] = numberArray;
n1=123; //n1 is number
n1="123"; //typescript compile error

Update: Here is the Javascript code generated, when targeting ECMAScript 6.

var numberArray; //orphan variable
var [n1, n2, n3, n4] = numberArray;
n1 = 123; //n1 is number

JS Code generated when targeting ECMAScript 5, like Louis said below, it's not pretty.

var numberArray; //orphan variable
var n1 = numberArray[0], n2 = numberArray[1], n3 = numberArray[2], n4 = numberArray[3];
n1 = 123; //n1 is number
