Cannot specify a JSDoc `@overload` signature using the `@type` tag

[DanielRosenwasser]

Often, I use @type because the @param + @return syntax is so unwieldy; however, it's not usable with @overload.

// @ts-check

/**
 * @overload
 * @type {(x: number) => number}
 */
/**
 * @type {(x: number) => number}
 */
function id(x) {
    return x;
}

id(123).toFixed(2);
// ~~~ Expected 0 arguments, but got 1.

I'd expect the above not to error; but it does.

Your snippet is not even a valid typescript code. Try your luck here: https://github.com/jsdoc/jsdoc/issues
