Research direction

Locate the love.Data:clone() function annotation in the love API definitions and inspect how related inheritance or generic annotations are expressed. Update the annotation so cloning a subtype such as love.ImageData preserves that subtype, then verify the resulting type information for the example described in the issue.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Currently love.Data:clone() returns love.Data, but love.Data is a superclass. That means if you clone love.ImageData, you will receive love.Data (not love.ImageData as expected). Use generics in this function annotation.
