/**
 * @description
 * Creates a function that invokes `func` as long as it's called less than `initialN` times.
 * Subsequent calls to the new function return the result of the last `func` invocation.
 * This behavior is similar to lodash's `_.before` function.
 *
 * @template T - The type of the function to restrict.
 * @param {number} initialN - The number determining how many times `func` can be called.
 * `func` is invoked if called less than `initialN` times (i.e., up to `initialN - 1` times).
 * If `initialN` is less than or equal to 1, `func` will not be invoked.
 * @param {T} func - The function to restrict.
 * @returns {(...args: Parameters<T>) => ReturnType<T>} Returns the new restricted function.
 * @throws {TypeError} If `func` is not a function.
