Cannot assign an empty map literal to a declaration of type Map. This is part of a larger issue that invariant type parameters are replaced by a fixed type.
It's OK to replace covariant type parameters by Nothing and contravariant type parameters by Any?.
To Reproduce
Check this code:
fun f(
p: Map<String, Int> = {}
)
Expected behavior
The assignment should work. We could either try to infer a type from the context or remember a special type like Unbound that is compatible to everything.
