/**
 * Primitive type of JSON.
 *
 * `Primitive<T>` is a TMP (Type Meta Programming) type which converts
 * its argument as a primitive type within framework JSON.
 *
 * If the target argument is a built-in class which returns its origin primitive type
 * through the `valueOf()` method like the `String` or `Number`, its return type would
 * be the `string` or `number`. Otherwise, the built-in class does not have the
 * `valueOf()` method, the return type would be an empty object (`{}`).
 *
 * Otherwise, the target argument is a type of custom class, all of its custom method
 * would be erased and its prototype would be changed to the primitive `object`.
 * Therefore, return type of the TMP type finally be the primitive object.
 *
 * In addition, if the target argument is a type of custom class and it has a special
 * method `toJSON()`, return type of this `Primitive` would be not `Primitive<Instance>`
 * but `Primitive<ReturnType<Instance.toJSON>>`.
 *
 * Before                  | After
 * ------------------------|----------------------------------------
 * `Boolean`               | `boolean`
 * `Number`                | `number`
 * `String`                | `string`
 * `Class`                 | `object`
 * `Class` with `toJSON()` | `Primitive<ReturnType<Class.toJSON>>`
 * Native Class            | never
 * Others                  | No change
