…ariant is tried first Fixes microsoft#7014. When TypeScript resolves overloads it picks the first matching one. The `reduce(callbackfn, initialValue: T): T` overload was listed before `reduce<U>(callbackfn, initialValue: U): U`, so `arr.reduce((acc, x) => ..., [])` inferred `T[]` instead of the expected `U`. Moving the generic `<U>` overload above the `T`-with-initialValue overload makes TypeScript try the more-specific version first. Applied to all four groups: ReadonlyArray.reduce, ReadonlyArray.reduceRight, Array.reduce, Array.reduceRight. Signed-off-by: creazyfrog <rohitcse.gec@gmail.com>

Problem
TypeScript resolves overloads by picking the first matching one. In
src/lib/es5.d.ts, thereduce(callbackfn, initialValue: T): Toverload was listed before thereduce<U>(callbackfn, initialValue: U): Uoverload. This caused TypeScript to inferT[](the less-specific type) instead of a user-providedUtype in cases like:Fix
Move the generic
<U>overload above theT-with-initialValueoverload for all four affected groups:ReadonlyArray.reduceReadonlyArray.reduceRightArray.reduceArray.reduceRightNo new overloads added, no signatures changed — only the declaration order.
