### 💻 Code
```ts
const { useGetPokemonByNameQuery } = pokemonApi;
// Wrapper to demonstrate the issue
export const useGetPokemonByNameQueryWrapper = (
...parameters: Parameters
) => {
return useGetPokemonByNameQuery(...parameters);
};
const useTest = () => {
// data1 has type Pokemon | undefined as expected
const { data: data1 } = useGetPokemonByNameQuery("pikachu");
// data2 has type any???
const { data: data2 } = useGetPokemonByNameQueryWrapper("pikachu");
};
```
### 🙁 Actual behavior
When I wrap any query hook generated by Redux Toolkit Query with any simple wrapper function the return type stops being inferred and changes to 'any'. Check the example in the attached Sandbox in file `/src/services/pokemon.ts`
### 🙂 Expected behavior
I expect the wrapper function to preserve the return type of the wrapped function and to correctly infer it.

Research direction
Start with the reproduction in the linked CodeSandbox, especially /src/services/pokemon.ts, and compare the inferred types from the direct query hook and its wrapper. Run the example and inspect why data2 becomes any; done means the wrapper preserves the wrapped hook's inferred return type.
