Current Behavior

  this.on (deductDiscount, async req => {
      return this.read(req.subject)
  })

leads to the type error

No overload matches this call.
  Overload 1 of 2, '(entity: ArrayConstructable<any>, key?: any): Awaitable<SELECT_3<ArrayConstructable<any>, SELECT_from>, any[]>', gave the following error.
    Argument of type 'ref' is not assignable to parameter of type 'ArrayConstructable<any>'.
      Type 'ref' provides no match for the signature 'new (...args: any[]): any[]'.
  Overload 2 of 2, '(entity: string | Definition_2, key?: any): SELECT_3<unknown, SELECT_from>', gave the following error.
    Argument of type 'ref' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string | Definition_2'.ts(2769)
