Channel instantiation with generic type is failing compilation

[prashanth-hegde]

Describe the bug

When a channel is created with a generic type, there's a compilation error being thrown

Reproduction Steps

struct Task[T] {
	idx		int 
	task	T
}

fn check[T](input T) T {
	ch := chan Task[T]{} // replacing T with `int` compiles fine
	// do something with channel
	ch.close()
	return input
}

fn main() {
	out := check[int](5)
	println(out)
}

Expected Behavior

Channel is created without error

Current Behavior
