Description
Even simple union types require brackets (e.g. `(number|undefined)`) without brackets there is a warning.
```js
/**
* @type {{
* age: number|undefined, // WARNING - [JSC_TYPE_PARSE_ERROR] Bad type annotation.
* }}
*/
const person = {}
```
It would be nice to have support for the good old simple bracketless syntax`number|undefined`.
