Instantiation Expressions, Conditional Types

### ✅ Viability Checklist

- [x] This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
- [x] This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
- [x] This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
- [x] This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
- [x] This isn't a request to add a new utility type: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/No-New-Utility-Types
- [x] This feature would agree with the rest of our Design Goals: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/TypeScript-Design-Goals

### ⭐ Suggestion

I am looking for a way to be able to instantiate a generic function / return type via conditional type.

```typescript
// some method

declare function method(value: T): T

// ... this is possible

type R0 = ReturnType>

// ... but this isn't

type Infer(value: T) => unknown, U> = ReturnType>

type R1 = Infer
```

### 📃 Motivating Example

I have written a small type-level parser for one of the libraries I manage. I have support for type parameterization.

[Parameterized Type](https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?moduleResolution=99&module=199#code/JYWwDg9gTgLgBAbzgZQJ4DsYEMAecC+cAZlBCHAOQACAzsOgMYA2WwUA9DKmAKYBGEHOxoZsOCgChQkWIhTYYwBgWKly1OoxZtO3foMkSGEdDXgAVOAF4Uo3AAoK6AK4g+PKBQCUcCUZNmcABqPAww0Na2mA5IlvgANHAABkg4AFxw5omoGVlwAF65BElefly8waHhUJHICkoAPOU8EESVYdAAfBLs7HD9AHoA-H5AA)

```typescript
const T = Syntax('number')

const Vector = Syntax({ T }, `{ x: T, y: T, z: T }`) // const T: TObject<{
// x: TNumber,
// y: TNumber,
// z: TNumber
// }>
```

... but would also like to support generic functions as parameters (and resolve exterior types via function call / instantiation expression)

```typescript
const Vector = (T: T) => Type.Object({ x: T, y: T, z: T })

const T = Syntax({ Vector }, `Vector`) // const T: TObject<{
// x: TNumber,
// y: TNumber,
// z: TNumber
// }>

```
When implementing the second case, I noticed it's not actually possible to instantiate the `Vector` signature within the context of a conditional type expression (i.e. the parser). In this case, I have a parsed `TNumber` type ready to supply the generic `Vector` function, but no way to instantiate it.

Essentially I would need the following but in a conditional type ([Reference](https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?moduleResolution=99&module=199&ssl=9&ssc=91&pln=3&pc=1#code/JYWwDg9gTgLgBAbzgFQMoGMAWBTEBDAGhQE8xsjkA5AVxACNso4BfOAMyghDgHIABAM7AAdugA2eYFAD0MUtjoQAHjwBQq9BGED4ANWzoY0OAF44AHmRxsSmNmEATASgw58APgAUyAFwoAlKbuJGQAdADydABWBjCeSEp+yETESUQAXkks-urS0nChhXAidlDCeGJwRlU4cGB4UAKM6nJkcAAKDU0ONPSMpii9DEwt8nAAktoweKLYDgMAStgw1GXI8uat2BBscPqG0OadjXNDjO7BeXDC2HM1wM4AbsB4cJqOwDDAWhVV8qpAA))

```typescript
const Vector = (T: T) => Type.Object({ x: T, y: T, z: T })

// ... internal to the parser

type ParsedNumber = TNumber

type Instanced = ReturnType> // need this via conditional type
```

### 💻 Use Cases

1. What do you want to use this for?

Implement generic types in a type level syntax parser.

2. What shortcomings exist with current approaches?

Cannot instantiate generic signatures within a conditional type.

3. What workarounds are you using in the meantime?

I'm not sure there are workarounds.

Direzione di ricerca

Inizia con il comportamento dei tipi condizionali e delle espressioni di istanziazione descritto negli esempi, quindi esamina l’issue correlata #22617. Il lavoro è completato quando le firme delle funzioni generiche possono essere istanziate con argomenti di tipo forniti da un tipo condizionale, inclusi i casi mostrati di Infer e Vector, senza modificare il JavaScript emesso.
