💻 Code

type A = {_tag: "a"}
type B = {_tag: "b"}

type U = A | B

// type NoInfer2<A> = A

const m: { result: NoInfer<U> }[] = []

function map<A, B>(items: readonly A[], f: (a: NoInfer<A>) => B) { return  items.map(f) }
// ends up as  ({ result: NoInfer<U>; } | null)[] instead of ({ result: A; } | null)[]
const something = map(m, (_) => _.result._tag === "a" ? { ..._, result: _.result } : null)

🙁 Actual behavior

ends up as ({ result: NoInfer<U>; } | null)[]

🙂 Expected behavior

({ result: A; } | null)[]

Additional information about the issue

use the custom NoInfer2 type instead, and it works as expected.
