tmu c7223dbe69 🐛 Infer strict return from the handler map
The fallback overload could not infer `R` from the handlers: `R` appeared
only inside the `Exact` constraint, which is not an inference site, so with
inferred handler params it collapsed to `unknown` and the matcher silently
returned `UnaryFn<T, unknown>`. Adding `Partial<Handlers<T, R>>` to the
handler parameter gives `R` an inference site, so the common return is
inferred from the handlers and the fallback alike.

Tests drop their explicit handler return annotations: real handlers are short
and unannotated, and the common type is now inferred from them.
