This was dropped in #18201 which restricted SAM types to valid parent types, but it turns out that there is code in the wild that relies on refinements being allowed here.

To support this properly, we had to enhance ExpandSAMs to move refinements into type members to pass Ycheck (previous Scala 3 releases would accept the code in tests/run/i18315.scala but fail Ycheck).

Fixes #18315.

This should be backported to any branch where #18201 is backported.

Missing the test case?

This was dropped in scala#18201 which restricted SAM types to valid parent types,
but it turns out that there is code in the wild that relies on refinements
being allowed here.

To support this properly, we had to enhance ExpandSAMs to move refinements into
type members to pass Ycheck (previous Scala 3 releases would accept the code in
tests/run/i18315.scala but fail Ycheck).

Fixes scala#18315.

oops yes

def main(args: Array[String]): Unit =
val s1: Sam1 { type T = String } = x => x.trim

Not sure if I'm asking for too much but I thought it would be nice if the type member of a SAM type could be inferred based on an explicitly provided type in a lambda, which led me to suggesting 2 additional test cases:

    def foo[S <: Sam1](s: S): S = s
    foo { (x: String) => x.trim }

    def bar[A](s: Sam1 { type T = A }): s.type = s
    bar { (x: String) => x.trim }

bar works as expected but the application of foo doesn't compile:

-- [E007] Type Mismatch Error: -------------------------------------------------
1 |foo { (x: String) => x.trim }

  |                     Required: Sam1#T

  | Tree: x.trim()
  | I tried to show that
  |   String

  |   Sam1#T

  |
  |   ==> String  <:  Sam1#T
  |   <== String  <:  Sam1#T = false
  |
  | The tests were made under a constraint with:
  |  uninstantiated variables:
  |  constrained types: [S <: Sam1](s: S): S
  |  bounds:
  |      S <: Sam1
  |  ordering:
  |  co-deps:
  |  contra-deps:
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Would it be a big deal to make foo work?
Otherwise LGTM

We should definitely not make more things work in this space. What this PR "fixes" is already off-spec, because it is not legal to put a refinement type in an extends clause. It happened to work in 3.3.0 by accident, and so we're preserving the status quo in the name of backward compatibility within a patch series. But we should in fact make it an error in 3.4.x.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to add more than this and definitely not in a PR that fixes a regression
