This PR extends stubgen to guess return types for some functions based on the returned expression. This is inspired by autotyping's
scalar-return
flag, with the addition of being able to handle literal lists, tuples, sets, and dicts.There are some limitations:
This only works on concrete functions at least one return statement & no yield/yieldfroms. It only works on literals, tuples of literals, or homogeneous container literals. Additionally, it only works if all the return statements return the same type or
None
.To verify this behavior, I added a test case with some examples and updated all the existing stubtest cases.
