Your 1 isn't equivalent to my example, line 11 is not constraining the type.

I know it's not equivalent, it was just an example to show what `any` does (and that it's more than "just a set of all possible types").

The `T extends Record<any, any>` on line 11 is a type parameter constraint though. Are you referring to something else when you say "constraining the type"?

It works differently based on where those anys are and what that Record<any, any> refers to due to type variance.
