Could you give an example of where it is right to infer a concrete `ir.type` given that the `type_` is a `TypeVar` (with a `__bound__` constraint)?

```
class MyOp(MyDialect.Operation, name='my_op'):
   X = TypeVar("X", T)
   x: Operand[X]
```
That is, what can `T` be here? Even if it's a concrete `ir.Type`, e.g. `F32Type`, it seems wrong to have `infer_type` return that type, `F32Type` in this case. The `TypeVar` is there to express an upper bound on "X". That is, the point of using a constrained type var `X` is to allow subtypes of the `T` type. In the example, we cannot have `infer_type` infer `F32Type` as the user explicitly said that subtypes of `F32Type` could be provided instead as well. (I am aware it's a silly example.)
