Description
As far as I know, it is not possible to use `@generic` in `@overload`?
I have a table `Object` that has a `__call` metamethod, so class Object can be used as function: `Object()` == `Object:new()`
... And I want to overload class Object with function `new()`. This function use generics 🤯
