<h3 id="Type_inference">Type inference</h3>

<p>
A use of a generic function may omit some or all type arguments if they can be
<i>inferred</i> from the context within which the function is used, including
the constraints of the function's type parameters.
Type inference succeeds if it can infer the missing type arguments

    <p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/63223, CL 521956, CL 541737 -->
      The new <a href="/pkg/go/types#Alias"><code>Alias</code></a> type represents type aliases.
      Previously, type aliases were not represented explicitly, so a reference to a type alias was equivalent
      to spelling out the aliased type, and the name of the alias was lost.
      The new representation retains the intermediate <code>Alias</code>.
