Expected Behaviour

.

Actual Behaviour

In the following code:

---@class store<T>: {set:fun(self:store<T>, key:integer, value:T), get:fun(self:store<T>, key:integer):T}

local string_store ---@type store<string>

When you hover string_store the type recursively expands leading to a confusing hover hint:

local string_store: store<string>|{ set: fun(self: store<<T>>|{ set: fun(self: store<<T>>|{ set: unknown, get: fun(self: store<<T>>|{ set: fun(self: store<<T>>|{ set: unknown, get: unknown }, key: int...(too long)...):string }
