we use subtyping as a model for implication between instanceof tests
i.e., when S <:< T we assume x.isInstanceOf[S] implies x.isInstanceOf[T]
unfortunately this is not true in general.
SI-6022 expects instanceOfTpImplies(ProductClass.tpe, AnyRefClass.tpe), but
ProductClass.tpe <:< AnyRefClass.tpe does not hold because Product extends Any
however, if x.isInstanceOf[Product] holds, so does x.isInstanceOf[AnyRef],
and that's all we care about when modeling type tests
