描述
I believe there is a use case for generic inference that doesn't get as wide as possible.
Look at this example of an assertion function, you would never want to do an assertion between two different types, but there is currently no way to type this:
from typing import TypeVar
T = TypeVar("T")
def assert_something(expected: T, actual: T) -> None:
...
assert_something(1, "") # no error, SUS alert!, T is inferred as `object`
Here are some behaviors from other languages
TypeScript
In Typescript generic inference is narrowed to type level types(not down to instance level types) and is never widened:
function assertSomething<T>(expected: T, actual: T): void { ... }
assertSomething(1, "") // Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'number'.
Kotlin
Kotlin by default acts the same as Python, but there are annotations for changing the behavior of inference.
NoInfer will exclude that usage from inferring the type.
fun <T> assertSomething(expected: T, actual: @NoInfer T) { }
assertSomething(1, "") // Type mismatch: inferred type is String but Int was expected
Exact will require the type of the parameter is equal at a type level (Number != Int)
fun <T> foo(x: @Exact T) { }
foo<Number>(1) // Type mismatch. Required: Number, Found: Int
OnlyInputTypes will require a type annotation if there is any difference in types between the usages of the generic:
fun <@OnlyInputTypes T> doSomething(a: T, b: T) { }
val a = doSomething("a", "b")
val b = doSomething("a", 1) // Type inference failed. The value of the type parameter T should be mentioned in input types (argument types, receiver type or expected type). Try to specify it explicitly.

调研方向
首先,将 Python 示例与 issue 中描述的 TypeScript 和 Kotlin 推断行为进行比较。确定应支持哪些替代推断算法或注解,以及混合参数类型、精确类型和排除的推断应如何表现;完成这项工作需要达成一致的设计以及相应的类型规范。
