Description
A type hint on a variable that is simply let-bound to a struct literal seems rather pointless:
See also #3796, which was about chaining type hints for struct literals.

Research direction
The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the type hint shown for a let binding initialized with a struct literal, then locate the type-hint behavior and compare it with the chaining case in issue #3796. Done means the redundant hint is no longer shown for this binding while relevant hints remain available.
