Do function parameters take precedence over function receivers for type inference?

I have the following function:

infix fun <T> MyResult<T>.assertSuccess(result: T) {
  assert(this is MyResult.Success && value == result)
}

but the compiler lets me call MyResult.Success("string") assertSuccess 1

is MyResult covariant? if so, that's completely expected. it's not that parameters have precedence, it's that the unification in type interference can find <Any> as a solution

Ah good call, forgot that I made it covariant. Didn't even think to check 😅
