Use-cases:
- If you want to make a conditional branch based on the result of a comparison of two types.

@example
```
import type {IsEqual} from 'type-fest';

// This type returns a boolean for whether the given array includes the given item.
// `IsEqual` is used to compare the given array at position 0 and the given item and then return true if they are equal.
type Includes<Value extends readonly any[], Item> =
	Value extends readonly [Value[0], ...infer rest]
		? IsEqual<Value[0], Item> extends true
			? true
			: Includes<rest, Item>
		: false;
```
