Description
Describe the bug
In the example code below, the hover definition for forkJoin displays a description about the any type, even when the any type is not used.
You have passed any here, we can't figure out if it is an array or an object, so you're getting unknown. Use better types.
In the example below, TypeScript inferred a tuple type [number, number].
Expected behavior
Hover definition for forkJoin displays the main/standard documentation definition for forkJoin.
Reproduction code
import { forkJoin, of } from 'rxjs'
forkJoin([of(1), of(2)])
