+Make sure that the growing union of literals `Literal[0, 1, 2, ...]` collapses to `int` during
+fixpoint iteration. This is a regression test for <https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/660>.

+class Counter:

 ### Builtin types attributes
 
 This test can probably be removed eventually, but we currently include it because we do not yet
