Description
### Describe the Bug
from https://github.com/DetachHead/python-type-checker-comparison/issues/10
I don't think we'll ever be fully drop-in compatible, but closing the gap and implementing various optional checks that BasedPyright adds on top of pyright makes sense

Research direction
Start with the linked python-type-checker-comparison issue and compare Pyrefly's current behavior with BasedPyright's optional checks. No files or tests are named; done would require identifying specific compatibility gaps and implementing the selected checks with coverage for their behavior.
