Description

MWE:

using ChainRulesCore: ProjectTo
x = [randn(2), randn(3)]
@code_warntype ProjectTo(x)

It appears to be the case that this happens because

@code_warntype map(ProjectTo, x)

isn't type-stable.

I'm not sure what a fix looks like here unfortunately.

Research direction

Start by running the MWE with @code_warntype ProjectTo(x) and compare it with @code_warntype map(ProjectTo, x). Trace the ProjectTo dispatch involved for Vector{Vector{Float64}}; done means the reported operation is type-stable, with the relevant behavior covered by an appropriate test.
