Overloaded function is not assignable to Callable #2273

Description

@auscompgeek

Describe the Bug

pyrefly 0.50.1 says that an overloaded function is incompatible with a Callable that takes a union of the overload argument types and returns (a union of) the overload return types, resulting in bad-assignment or bad-argument-type errors being reported depending on context.

Minimum reproducible example:

from typing import *

@overload
def foo(x: int) -> str: ...

@overload
def foo(x: str) -> str: ...

def foo(x: int | str) -> str:
    return str(x)

bar: Callable[[int | str], str] = foo
# `Overload[
#   (x: int) -> str
#   (x: str) -> str
# ]` is not assignable to `(int | str) -> str` [bad-assignment]
