Does Take verify the passed type string argument against the generic action argument?

[rssfrncs]

I assumed Take would verify that a string passed as the first argument would match a known type in the generic argument?

E.g.

type Action = { type: 'my action' }

yield* take<Action>('my actionzzzz', ...)

I expect an error that 'my actionzzzz' is not comparable to 'my action'? Am I using take incorrectly?
