Description
### Analyzer
**Diagnostic ID**: [CA1859](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/fundamentals/code-analysis/quality-rules/ca1859): `Use concrete types when possible for improved performance`
### Analyzer source
**SDK**: 9.0.101
### Describe the bug
When a method's return type is `object` and the returned value is an anonymous type (`new { Name = "Alex" }`) the analyzer suggests changing the method's return type from `object` to ``. Of course, this return type is invalid.
### Steps To Reproduce
```csharp
Console.WriteLine(BuildObject());
private static object BuildObject() // Triggers CA1859
{
var outputData = new
{
Name = "Alex"
};
return outputData;
}
```
### Expected behavior
Shouldn't trigger the CA1859 rule.
### Actual behavior
Triggers the CA1859 rule.
