ty infers a "function-literal" type for generator30, not a Callable type. A function-literal type is more precise than a Callable type: it retains, for example, the information that generator30 is an instance of types.FunctionType, which is not true for all arbitrary Callable types.

I don't believe the spec states anywhere that type checkers must infer a Callable type for function objects (only that functions must be considered to inhabit Callable types), so I think this change is appropriate.

I tried doing just assert_type(generator30(), AsyncIterator[int]), but then zuban (reasonably) complained that the result of generator30() was never awaited, which wasn't relevant to what the test was trying to assert.

the assertions in this test ran into issues because ty inferred T as having type Literal[""] where T = str("").

ty also rejected the assert_type(T, complex) call lower down after the T = 3j assignment, because we view complex in a type expression as immediately expanding to the union int | float | complex, and the second argument to assert_type takes a type expression -- but complex (the type inferred for T) is not equivalent to int | float | complex.

T = int(1)
