💻 Code

type Cb3 = <Res extends string | Promise<string>>(cb: () => Res) => Res

const c: Cb3 = {} as any;

// this don't widen the type, type of t31 is "1"
const t31 = c(() => {
  return '1';
});

// but here is the problem, type of t32 is Promise<string>
const t32 = c(async () => {
  return '1';
});

🙁 Actual behavior

Type of t32 is Promise<string>

🙂 Expected behavior

Type of t32 is Promise<"1">, by analogy with type of t31

At this moment, you may use '1' as const to temporarily solve this issue

Yes, as const works, but it a bit ugly to add everywhere. Thx for feedback.
