💻 Code

type NonFalsy<T> = T extends false | 0 | "" | null | undefined | 0n
    ? never
    : T;

// Comment this out
interface Array<T> { filter(predicate: BooleanConstructor, thisArg?: any): NonFalsy<T>[]; }

const id = <T,>() => (t: T) => !!t;

['foo', 'bar'].filter(id())
//                    ^?

🙁 Actual behavior

Nested function inference works (type parameter is string) without the additional overload, and fails (type parameter is unknown) with the overload (even though the added overload isn't the one in use).

🙂 Expected behavior

Nested function inference should work regardless of whether an overload is added to .filter or not.

Additional information about the issue

Adding the overload is described in https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/50387 and made popular by ts-reset.
It's possible the overload order may matter in this instance, but difficult to test when the main overloads are coming from lib definitions.

Reproduziere das Verhalten im verlinkten TypeScript Playground und vergleiche die Inferenz mit und ohne die hinzugefügte Array.filter BooleanConstructor-Überladung. Lies die relevanten lib-Definitionen und den Kontext der Überladungsreihenfolge aus Issue #50387; als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn die Inferenz verschachtelter Funktionen für das Beispiel weiterhin string inferiert, sobald die Überladung vorhanden ist.
