Bug Report

If I declare a type with type T = dict, then instantiate it with T(), mypy does not error.

I spot-checked some other types like type T = set, type T = int etc, and mypy complains about these when called. Only type T = dict seems to wrongly pass.

To Reproduce

type T = dict
x: T = T()

Expected Behavior

$ mypy t.py
t.py:2: error: "TypeAliasType" not callable  [operator]
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)

Actual Behavior

$ mypy t.py
Success: no issues found in 1 source file
