Description
Consider this contrived example:
class Initializer
def self.create(klass)
klass.new
end
end
How can this class be annotated in rbs such that the return value is known to be an instance of the klass?
Imagining something like the following (which is not valid):
class Initializer[Klass]
def self.create: (Klass) -> Klass::instance
end
Additionally, how can the Initializer class be annotated such that the Klass generic param must be a subclass of a parent class?
For example, I'm using graphql-ruby batch loaders, whose usage looks like this:
Loaders::Single.for(::Album).load(album_id).then do |album|
# ^ ::Album is the class # ^ album is an instance of Album class
How can Loaders::Single rbs type be defined such that the generic (in the above example ::Album), must be a subclass of Sequel::Model?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing RBS generic signature syntax for class instances and subtype constraints; done would be a documented, validated way to express both requested relationships.
