LuaLS processes the wrong LuaDoc for Penlight tablex.filter

Reproduisez le diagnostic dans VS Code avec LuaLS et l’addon Penlight, puis examinez library/pl/tablex.lua autour de la ligne 545, en particulier les deux définitions de tablex.filter. Suivez la manière dont LuaLS résout ces définitions et vérifiez que la surcharge générique est sélectionnée afin que l’exemple ne signale plus un argument de fonction invalide.

What is the issue affecting?

Libraries

Expected Behaviour

local tablex = require("pl.tablex")

tablex.filter(
    {},
    function() end -- no linting error
)

Actual Behaviour

local tablex = require("pl.tablex")

tablex.filter(
    {},
    function() end -- Cannot assign `function` to parameter `"()"|"<"|"<="|"=="|">"...(+5)`. (...)
)

Reproduction steps

1. Setup LuaLS and copy example code into a .lua file
2. Install Penlight using the Addon Manager

Additional Notes

Here's an extract of the LuaDoc. LuaLS seems to always pick the second definition instead of the first one which has the annotations for using a generic function.

---@generic T, A
---@param t T[]
---@param pred fun(val: T, arg: A): any
---@param arg A
---@return T[]
---@nodiscard
function tablex.filter(t, pred, arg) end

---filter an array's values using a predicate function
---@generic T
---@param t T[] -- a list-like table
---@param pred pl.BoolBinOpString -- a boolean function
---@param arg any -- optional argument to be passed as second argument of the predicate
---@return T[]
---@nodiscard
function tablex.filter(t, pred, arg) end

Log File

I set --loglevel=trace and added the code to an empty file while having tail running on the log but there are no relevant details.
