Bug Report
Overload resolution appears to pick the first matching overload if the argument type is an alias to Any. It should consider all overloads. This works correctly when using Any directly (without an alias). This came up in python/typeshed#10405.
To Reproduce
from typing import Any, Union, overload
@overload
def my_origin(x: type) -> type: ...
@overload
def my_origin(x: Any) -> Any: ...
def my_origin(x: Any) -> Any:
return x
def call_any(spec: Any) -> bool:
return my_origin(spec) is Union
TypeSpec = Any
def call_alias(spec: TypeSpec) -> bool:
return my_origin(spec) is Union

Expected Behavior
Both call_any
and call_alias
should type check without errors, since they are the same thing.
Actual Behavior
call_alias
produces an error in strict mode:
proj/overload.py:18: error: Non-overlapping identity check (left operand type: "type", right operand type: "<typing special form>") [comparison-overlap]
