Hello,
I’m exploring rescript-react and noticed a peculiar behaviour. Here’s my test code:

module MyComponent = { @react.component let make = () => { let (value, setValue) = React.useState(_ => 0) <> <div> {React.string(string_of_int(value))} </div> <input onChange={evt => { let x = ReactEvent.Form.target(evt)["value"] // 1 setValue(_ => x) // 2 }} /> </> } }

What I noticed is that on the line marked with // 1 the type of x is 'a, but on line // 2 hovering over x shows the type int. Why is that? I would expect the compiler to ask me to decode the value of x.

Thank you in advance!

P.S.
