⏯ Playground Link

Playground link with relevant code

💻 Code
type Left<Z> = <T>() => (T extends Z ? 1 : 2);
type Right<Z> = <T>() => (T extends Z ? 1 : 2);

type Equal1<X, Y> = Left<X> extends Right<Y> ? true : false;
type Equal2<X, Y> = Left<X> extends Left<Y> ? true : false;

// false
type X1 = Equal1<{a:string}, {readonly a: string}>
// true
type X2 = Equal2<{a:string}, {readonly a: string}>
🙁 Actual behavior

X1 and X2 is different.

🙂 Expected behavior

X1 and X2 is the same.

Actually, Left and Right are the same, Equal1 and Equal2 are the same.
But the result of Equal1 and Equal2 with the same parameters are different.
