Casting an otherwise unused variable in a block preserves the cast outside of block

Type Checking

Expected Behaviour

Any casts inside a block should not be maintained once leaving that block.

Actual Behaviour

Type cast is maintained even after the block in which the variable was cast if and only if the variable was not used in that block.

Reproduction steps

This is incorrect:

---@type number|string
local i
if true then --can be `false` or any other logical
  ---@cast i number
  local _ = 0 --not referencing variable `i` that was cast above
end
local j = i --type of j is `number`, should be `number|string`

This is correct:

---@type number|string
local i
if true then --can be `false` or any other logical
  ---@cast i number
  local _ = i -- referencing variable `i` that was cast above
end
local j = i --type of j is `number|string`

Riproduci entrambi gli snippet Lua tramite l’estensione Visual Studio Code e confronta il tipo inferito di j dopo il blocco. Segui il percorso del controllo dei tipi per la gestione di @cast quando la variabile del cast non viene utilizzata, quindi verifica che il cast non sopravviva al blocco, mentre il caso con un riferimento all’interno del blocco rimanga corretto.
