💻 Code

type ShouldBeInvariant<D> = <T>(x: T&D, y: T)=>T&D

const second: ShouldBeInvariant<unknown> =  (x, y) => y
const outNumber: ShouldBeInvariant<number> = second
outNumber<unknown>(4, 'str').toExponential()

const inNumber: ShouldBeInvariant<number> = (x) => (x.toExponential(), x)
const inUnknown: ShouldBeInvariant<unknown> = inNumber
inUnknown('str', 'str')

🙁 Actual behavior

The code type checks, while it shouldn't because that is unsound, using ShouldBeInvariant covariantly or contravariantly both causes runtime errors.

🙂 Expected behavior

ShouldBeInvariant should be invariant against its parameter. Both assigns:

const outNumber: ShouldBeInvariant<number> = second

and

const inUnknown: ShouldBeInvariant<unknown> = inNumber

should report errors
