Didn't know `Expect` existed. Can't find it docs?
It's actually not in the standard library, but you can write it yourself:
type Expect = T;
`T extends true` puts a type constraint on the parameter, which then needs to be assignable to the literal type `true` to type-check.
OK cool, now what about `Equal` :).
Actually, this won't work with union types! The definition of `Equal` I use is this one:
type Equal = (() => T extends X ? 1 : 2) extends < T >() => T extends Y ? 1 : 2 ? true : false;
Understanding this requires a bit more context, but I'll explain why we need something so complicated in the Advanced Union Types chapter :)
I picked it from https://github.com/type-challenges/type-challenges which is an awesome resource too
