Description

Cf. https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/48796. The spec does not mention that type inference takes place in cases like this one, and this is a real source of confusion because it could also use i2b:

```dart
class C {
factory C() = D; // Means `= D`, not `= D`.
}

class D implements C {}
```

Research direction

Read the specification sections covering redirecting factories and type inference, then compare the example with dart-lang/sdk issue 48796. Done means the specification explicitly states how type inference applies in this case and resolves the possible i2b interpretation.
