 Want sharper type inference? The return type extensions are **disabled by default** — enable the ones that fit your stack:

 ```
 
-`symfonyReturnType` resolves `$container->get(SomeService::class)` to `SomeService` and Symfony Finder's `$splFileInfo->getRealPath()` to `string`. `laravelReturnType` does the same for Laravel's `$container->make(SomeService::class)`. `pathStrings` narrows `getcwd()`, `dirname()` and `realpath()` to `string`:
