/**
Returns a boolean for whether the given type is a `string` [literal type](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/everyday-types.html#literal-types).

Useful for:
	- providing strongly-typed string manipulation functions
	- constraining strings to be a string literal
	- type utilities, such as when constructing parsers and ASTs

The implementation of this type is inspired by the trick mentioned in this [StackOverflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/68261113/420747).

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

type CapitalizedString<T extends string> = IsStringLiteral<T> extends true ? Capitalize<T> : string;

// https://github.com/yankeeinlondon/native-dash/blob/master/src/capitalize.ts
function capitalize<T extends Readonly<string>>(input: T): CapitalizedString<T> {
	return (input.slice(0, 1).toUpperCase() + input.slice(1)) as CapitalizedString<T>;
}

const output = capitalize('hello, world!');
//=> 'Hello, world!'
```

@example
```
// String types with infinite set of possible values return `false`.

import type {IsStringLiteral} from 'type-fest';

type AllUppercaseStrings = IsStringLiteral<Uppercase<string>>;
//=> false

type StringsStartingWithOn = IsStringLiteral<`on${string}`>;
//=> false

// This behaviour is particularly useful in string manipulation utilities, as infinite string types often require separate handling.

type Length<S extends string, Counter extends never[] = []> =
	IsStringLiteral<S> extends false
		? number // return `number` for infinite string types
		: S extends `${string}${infer Tail}`
			? Length<Tail, [...Counter, never]>
			: Counter['length'];

type L1 = Length<Lowercase<string>>;
//=> number

type L2 = Length<`${number}`>;
//=> number
```
