Research direction

Start by reproducing the error while implementing Flutter's ChildIndexGetter with the return expression (+ x y) and dynamic x and y. Investigate how ClojureDart handles the expression's inferred type, and consider the issue done when the implementation no longer reports that a num is returned where int? is required.
