boundary

When hoisting multiple types in the expected output of a request. If there are multiple similar schemas in the list of output types, how does BAML select which schema to coerce the output into?

its a cost function. We prefer exact matches first, matches with fewer extra fields next

its a bit more nuanced cause recursive types make it hard

so hard to describe the full algorithm in a few messages. best thing to do is just try it!

you can test expectactions via the modular API:

```python
res = b.parse.YourFunction("SomeString")
# res will now be the type of your function
```

Could you point me to the parts of the codebase this scoring is defined? Curious to poke around
