Summary
Rename
infer_symbol_type
toinfer_symbol_public_type
, and allow it to work on symbols with more than one definition. For now, use the most cautious/sound inference, which is the union of all definitions. We can prune this union more in future by eliminating definitions if we can show that they can't be visible (this requires both that the symbol is definitely later reassigned, and that there is no intervening call/import that might be able to see the over-written definition).Test Plan
Added a test showing inference of union from multiple definitions.
