noImplicitAny does not apply to function context

TypeScript Version: 3.3.3

Search Terms: noImplicitAny, context

Code

function foo(num: number) {
  this.num = num;
}

Expected behavior:

When I hover over this I should see void as the implicitly inferred type. Ideally this.num would be an error, especially in strict mode.

Actual behavior:

I see any as the implicit type of this. this is always inferred to be any unless I override it in the function signature.

noImplicitThis controls this behavior rather than noImplicitAny. You can turn it on in the Playground to try.
