false positive: classmethod constructor on generic class

I'm inclined to think this is a bug, but could be argued it's a missing feature.

How to reproduce

# makes_bug.py

from typing import Generic, Type, TypeVar

T = TypeVar('T')

class Foo(Generic[T]):
    def __init__(self, value: T) -> None: ...
    @classmethod
    def construct(cls) -> Foo[str]:
        return cls('bar')

Expected outcome

This code should pass type checks.

Actual outcome

mypy, to my great surprise, fails:

$ python --version
Python 3.8.1
$ mypy --version
mypy 0.790+dev.65186ae1e23fd44f1d7e6aa2c4458bdf55640742
$ mypy src/makes_bug.py
makes_bug.py:11: error: Incompatible return value type (got "Foo[T]", expected "Foo[str]")
makes_bug.py:11: error: Argument "value" to "Foo" has incompatible type "str"; expected "T"
Found 2 errors in 1 file (checked 1 source file)

Workaround

Changing line 10 to def construct(cls: Type[Foo]) -> Foo[str]: fixes it; or, probably more or less equivalently, def construct(cls: Type[Foo[Any]]) -> Foo[str]:.

Investigation / suggested fix

Adding reveal_type(cls) indicates that cls is inferred to have type Foo[T], which cannot return a Foo[str].

It's not clear to me why classmethods should have the lead argument inferred to a bound type. I'd propose that my workaround be made a default: class methods should infer the type of the lead argument type as the unbound class type, or bound with all Anys.

I'd imagine the change would go here: https://github.com/python/mypy/blob/65186ae1e23fd44f1d7e6aa2c4458bdf55640742/mypy/semanal.py#L609,L610
or (more likely) in the referenced method class_type():
https://github.com/python/mypy/blob/65186ae1e23fd44f1d7e6aa2c4458bdf55640742/mypy/semanal.py#L4790,L4791

Happy to take a stab at it, but wanted to solicit some feedback first. This is a complex system and it's possible I'm missing some potential consequence here.

Beginne mit der generischen classmethod-Reproduktion in makes_bug.py und untersuche mypy/semanal.py an den referenzierten Zeilen, insbesondere class_type(). Verwende reveal_type(cls) und führe mypy für das Beispiel aus, um den abgeleiteten Typ zu bestätigen. Erledigt ist es, wenn das Beispiel die Typprüfung ohne den Type[Foo]-Workaround besteht und das bestehende generische Verhalten erhalten bleibt.
