Note:
This is a work of fiction. It's not code that you can run or anything. It's a fun toy playing with the typescript type system. Feel free to learn and make your own, but please give me credit for coming up with the idea with this link: https://ricklove.me/typescript-type-system-adventure

Also this was inspired by this amazing SQL typescript type system parser: https://github.com/codemix/ts-sql
