This PR addresses an issue related to type handling in futures. Consider the following example:
In this example, the array
$arris expected to contain elements of typefuture<mixed>. However, at the time of creation, the futures have different types:future<int>andfuture<array<int>>. To ensure correct type handling and conversion, the compiler needs to insert runtime type conversions.This PR enables the generation of such runtime type conversions.
