Responses are a union of possible operations response types #3

I think the best solution to this would if would could make the types smart enough so that you could narrow on the type, many APIs have a single response type per status. I spent some time trying to do this, but it made my brain hurt 😄. |
| : 'default' extends keyof T | ||
| ? T['default'] | ||
| : unknown | ||
| type _OpReturnType<T> = keyof T extends number | 'default' ? T[keyof T] : never |

doesn't this include all the error types as well?

I believe so, that's the point of this PR, currently you can write code that doesn't handle error cases and typescript won't catch it.

how do you narrow it down, though, is the status code in |
This is what I was hoping to do, I have a branch where I was working on this, but I didn't get it working. As it stands now, you have to narrow the type on the response object itself, which is a bit annoying. However, I think it's much better than the current behavior where you can just ignore error cases, resulting in runtime errors. |

Currently the data property of a response is based on the type of one success responses. This is incorrect, because different status codes may return different response types.
This is a breaking change, since working code may now cause compile errors, requiring you to narrow the type before you can use it.
