Fixes #8093
The fix is kind of simple, we really need to keep all
ErasedType
s intact to preserve the existing type inference logic, but it is also long because I need to thread the flag down like dozen function calls.The issue itself btw highlight how fragile is current type inference logic (note that
expand_type()
implicitly callsmake_simplified_union()
too, but I think that one doesn't need to be updated because it shouldn't be called with any erased components).
