Description

Explicit returns did not have any type annotation causing the method disambiguation to fail.

The solution was to add a new field to the TypeCheckContext called function_type_annotation. This field is initialized only in the type_check of function declarations. The field is used to set the type_annotation one while doing the type check of explicit return expressions.

With this change TypeCheckUnification was also simplified as the unification is now done with function_type_annotation. The result was a few functions that are no longer required to be removed.

Closes #5518

Really great, this cleans up a lot of code.

I think we need a new test for the case reported in #5518 though, right?

You are right, I forgot to add it to git. Pushed the test just now.

Around 200 lines of code removed, around 20 lines of code added. I approve of this. :-)

(I also actually reviewed the code, and it looks good)
