A function value with more parameters than the slot it flows into is
assignable in TypeScript exactly when the extra trailing parameters are
optional, and a call through the slot passes no value for them, so the
callee sees undefined as it does in JavaScript. funcCoerceAdapter refused
every such pair, so a callback parameter forwarded into a narrower slot
fell through to requireExactShape and failed with SC2003 ("union
conversion has no unambiguous layout mapping") even though the checker
accepted the program.
The adapter now supplies each omitted extra parameter with omittedArgFor
(the undefined arm of the parameter's ABI union, or the checked-dynamic
undefined). A pair whose extra parameter cannot hold undefined stays
refused, and an extra required parameter remains a checker error.
Only pairs that previously returned null reach the new code, so programs
that compiled before are unchanged.
