pest [Bug]: PHPStan throws error when calling `expect` on higher order test

Still a problem in PestPHP 3 unfortunately :(

As a bandaid, I would suggest putting a // @phpstan-ignore-next-line above the offending code.

If it's a lot of code, you can ignore a regex of the issue in the configuration file (see: https://phpstan.org/user-guide/ignoring-errors#ignoring-in-configuration-file).

Thanks, but I'm aware that I can ignore the errors. Actually, I've just stopped analyzing test code with PHPStan, it's not really needed given that it's tested anyway

@calebdw would love if you could come up with better phpstan experience for pest.
