This reduces the number of overloads from 65 to 40. Overloads are very computationally expensive to typecheck, because all combinations of overloads have to be considered. I haven't tested it myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if this change reduces the average runtimes of the mypy's and the pyright's by a couple of seconds.
Most of the "removed" overloads were merged into another the same return type. Some others for abstract scalar-types like
flexible
andgeneric
were also removed, because I doubt that they will ever be used in realistic use-cases. And I figured that the primer will tell us if that assumption is false.
