Expected Behaviour

The ---@cast annotation should respect Lua scoping rules.

Actual Behaviour

Let's consider:

--- @class foo
--- @field a number

--- @class bar
--- @field b string

--- @type { [integer]: foo|bar }
local array = {}

for i, instance in ipairs(array) do
	if instance.a then
                -- First if block
		--- @cast instance foo
	end

	if instance.b then
                -- Second if block
	end
end

In the first if block, we cast the instance to the foo type. When hovering over the instance variable in the second if block we can see its type is foo. It would be expected for its type to be bar since the ---@cast happened in different scope.

Reproduction steps

1. Copy-paste the given example code into your text editor.
2. Hover over the instance variable in the second if block.
3. See the error in the popup.

Comienza reproduciendo el problema con el ejemplo de Lua proporcionado en la extensión de Visual Studio Code e inspecciona cómo la comprobación de tipos gestiona los ámbitos de los dos bloques if. Se considera completado cuando el cast a foo se aplica solo dentro del primer bloque, mientras que la instancia del segundo bloque conserva el tipo inferido apropiado en lugar de foo.
