Description
I have the following use case. There's a library that defines a global vim.g as table<string, any>. In my application code, I want to utilise only the "autoformat" key of that table, i.e. vim.g.autoformat. I want to enforce this key as a boolean? but the language server marks it as any.
Is there any way I could achieve this?

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the vim.g.autoformat annotation case described in the issue and trace how the language server types imported globals and table fields. Done should be a confirmed supported approach, with coverage or documentation showing how to enforce autoformat as boolean?.
