Does not handle multiple types properly, yet supplied example covers both null or string

When given an array with two objects examples, it considers only the first example to infer the type;

{
    "CustomerNumber": "ABC123",
    "contactPersons": [{
            "PersonFirstName": "Mindi",
            "PersonLastName": "Mink",
            "ContactLevel": "ORG",
            "PartySiteNumber": null
        },
        {
            "PersonFirstName": "Kendra",
            "PersonLastName": "Spade",
            "ContactLevel": "SITE",
            "PartySiteNumber": "S444666"
        }
    ]
}

The inferred type is

{
    "PartySiteNumber": {
        "$id": "#/properties/contactPersons/items/anyOf/0/properties/PartySiteNumber",
        "type": "null",
        "title": "The PartySiteNumber schema",
        "description": "An explanation about the purpose of this instance.",
        "default": null,
        "examples": [
            null
        ]
    }
}

when it should have been:
"type" : ["null", "string"]

Thanks for taking the time to report this @joe-oli . You're right. I stripped back your example to

[
    {
        "PartySiteNumber": null
    },
    {
        "PartySiteNumber": "S444666"
    }
]

And also removed a few keywords

{
    "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema",
    "type": "array",
    "default": [],
    "examples": [
        [
            {
                "PartySiteNumber": null
            },
            {
                "PartySiteNumber": "S444666"
            }
        ]
    ],
    "items": {
        "anyOf": [
            {
                "type": "object",
                "default": {},
                "examples": [
                    {
                        "PartySiteNumber": null
                    }
                ],
                "required": [
                    "PartySiteNumber"
                ],
                "properties": {
                    "PartySiteNumber": {
                        "type": "null",
                        "default": null,
                        "examples": [
                            null
                        ]
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

This has been fixed in the new version.
