TypeScript：声明一个具有对象文字类型的变量

Question

I am trying to find proper signature (current version of TypeScript is 1.7) for function that should accept only reference types, not primitives:

function onlyObject(x: ???) {
    if (typeof x !== 'object') {
        throw "bad arg!";
    }
}

So for function above this should work:

onlyObject({ });
onlyObject(new Date());
onlyObject(new Number(1));
onlyObject(null);
onlyObject(function () { });

but this will fail in compile time:

onlyObject("awd");
onlyObject(1);
onlyObject(false);

There currently isn't a way to express this in the language.
