Description: Mypy's --warn-return-any check flags when a function is declared to return a specific type, but mypy can't verify whether it's actually returning that type or not -- it can only infer a vague, unsafe Any type as the returned type. This can often lead to bugs slipping beneath the radar. In the case of argument clinic, the check only flags a single function. But, turns out that it's a true positive! The function is incorrectly annotated at the moment -- the annotation says that it returns a FunctionType, but that's not true. The function creates a FunctionType instance fn, and then returns whatever calling fn returns returns. Therefore, the proper return annotation for this function is -> Any, not -> FunctionType. Closes #104050! Issue: gh-104050
