💻 Code

function checkAll<T>(something: T): T {
  switch (typeof something) {
    case "number":
    case "bigint":
    case "boolean":
    case "symbol":
    case "undefined":
    case "function":
    case "object":
    case "string":
      return something;
  }
}

🙁 Actual behavior

This emits the TS error: "Function lacks ending return statement and return type does not include 'undefined'.(2366)"

🙂 Expected behavior

No error, since all possible results of typeof are handled.

Additional information about the issue

It seems to only be an issue when the function argument is generic. It works if I switch the return type and parameter types to any, but I'm not sure that's a fair comparison.
