@zelliott could this be a regression from PR #3584 ?

[zelliott]

Likely, yes. I'll look into it tomorrow. @ocavue - if you're interested in looking into this before then, see the conversation at #3584 (comment) and the associated highlighted code.

[zelliott]

We recently released API Extractor v7.31.0. I tried to repro this issue with v7.31.0, and was unable to do so. I think this could be fixed now - @ocavue can you confirm?

[ocavue]

@zelliott It's fixed on my side too. Thank you for your help!
