Change default inference from arrays to tuples and primitives to literals

I am working on functional project now and I'm getting a lot of errors related to too wide type inference for values. It looks like

function test(a: { data: 1 | 2 }) { return a }
const a = { data: 2 }
// Types of property 'data' are incompatible.
// Type 'number' is not assignable to type '2'.ts(2345)
const b = test(a)

There're really many errors like this, and the main problem is that you can convert type A to type B, but not vice versa.

type A = { data: 2 }
type B = { data: number }

So, I ask you to add a new compiler option (to not break existing code) that will make type checker infer types as narrow as possible. It will be very helpful for functional programming.

Start by reviewing the TypeScript type checker and compiler-option documentation, using the issue's array, primitive, and literal-inference examples as the expected behavior. Define the option's scope and compatibility rules first; done means the requested narrow inference works without changing existing behavior when the option is disabled.
