How can I improve type readability?

Hi @pirix-gh

Hope you are doing well. Good to see that ts-toolbelt is continuing to grow. 💜

A quick question for yourself...

Is there any mechanism by which I could improve the legibility of the types generated when using the ts-toolbelt types.

For example, when using combinations of Pick, Filter, Select on an object type the generated type becomes realllllly long.

Could I compact this out in some manner to improve the legibility?

Hey Sean, glad to see you again, happy new year!

Are you having this issue when using generics?
If this is not the case, would you mind providing with an example, repo link?

In this case, we can mitigate it like this:

type _Example<O extends object> = 
    O.Filter<O.Select<O, string | number>, 1 | 2 | 3> extends infer X ? X : never

This will cause ts not to expand the types too far. Then on my side I can work on improving this, so that you can get even shorter types.

@ctrlplusb did this help you? Can I close this issue?

Sorry, been distracted. Will give this a thorough test soon. We can close it in the interim if you like. I'll report back if it doesn't work as expected. 👍
