Array.from(it: Iterable<X> | Iterable<Y>) fails; […it] works but returns Array<X | Y>; both should return Array<X> | Array<Y>

Description
### 🔎 Search Terms
Array.from is currently declared as
```ts
from(iterable: Iterable | ArrayLike): T[];
```
This means that unions of distinct iterable types cannot be turned into arrays of the same type.
```ts
let foo: Iterable | Iterable = /* ... */;
let q: Array | Array = Array.from(foo); // Fails type checking, cannot find overload (2769)
```
The array splat operator has a different problem: it tries to create an array that is a union of both types.
```ts
let foo: Iterable | Iterable = /* ... */;
let q: Array | Array = [...foo]; // Fails type checking, not assignable to type (2322)
```
My instinct is that there should be some way to use variadic types here, but tbh I don't really know how.
Does this need new syntax? Or does it work within the existing type system?
### 🕗 Version & Regression Information
Since at least 4.0; prior to 4.0 it still fails but Array.from did not support taking an Iterable.
Still around in 6.0.0-dev.20251009

### 💻 Code
```ts
type Foo = Iterable | Iterable;
function tryArrayFrom(foo: Foo) {
let q: Array | Array = Array.from(foo);
}
function trySplat(foo: Foo) {
let q: Array | Array = [...foo];
}
```
### 🙁 Actual behavior
_for tryArrayFrom_
No overload matches this call.
Overload 1 of 4, '(iterable: Iterable | ArrayLike): string[]', gave the following error.
Argument of type 'Foo' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Iterable | ArrayLike'.
Type 'Iterable' is not assignable to type 'Iterable | ArrayLike'.
Type 'Iterable' is not assignable to type 'Iterable'.
The types returned by '[Symbol.iterator]().next(...)' are incompatible between these types.
Type 'IteratorResult' is not assignable to type 'IteratorResult'.
Type 'IteratorYieldResult' is not assignable to type 'IteratorResult'.
Type 'IteratorYieldResult' is not assignable to type 'IteratorYieldResult'.
Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'string'.
Overload 2 of 4, '(arrayLike: ArrayLike): (string | number)[]', gave the following error.
Argument of type 'Foo' is not assignable to parameter of type 'ArrayLike'.
Property 'length' is missing in type 'Iterable' but required in type 'ArrayLike'.
_for trySplat_
Type '(string | number)[]' is not assignable to type 'string[] | number[]'.
Type '(string | number)[]' is not assignable to type 'string[]'.
Type 'string | number' is not assignable to type 'string'.
Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'string'.
### 🙂 Expected behavior
Array.from a union of Iterables should return a union of Arrays.

Commencez par reproduire les deux exemples dans le TypeScript Playground lié et comparez la surcharge déclarée de Array.from avec le comportement du spread. Étudiez comment les unions de Iterable et Iterable sont inférées, puis déterminez si les mécanismes existants du système de types peuvent produire Array | Array sans nouvelle syntaxe. Le travail est terminé lorsque les deux exemples passent la vérification de types avec le type union attendu et que les régressions pertinentes sont couvertes.
