Error when applying the IDE0059 rule on code with simplified 'new' expression

[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice]
When I apply the rule IDE0059 to remove a unnecessary value assignment that can be discarded with _ but the variable has a simplified 'new' expression the discarded version does not know the Type.

// before applying IDE0059 rule
MyClass obj = new("test");

// after applying IDE0059 rule
_ = new("test");

So in this example the version after applying the rule does not know what Type the simplified new should be.

The solution to this would be that when applying the IDE0059 rule it should be checked if there is a simplified new and than add the ClassType to that like this:

_ = new MyClass ("test");
