[Feature Request]: `Not`, `NotIn`, and `NoIntersect` handlers for validation and duplicate checks

[brandonmcconnell]

There are several goals I am hoping to achieve here, with these type helpers:

• Ensure a type is not another type

  const a: string & Not<"test"> = "test";
  //    ^ TS should complain

• Ensure a type is not in another grouped type like an array or object

  Array example

  const forbiddenStrings = ['bad', 'worse', 'worst'] as const;
  const a: string & NotIn<typeof forbiddenStrings> = "bad";
  //    ^ TS should complain

  Object keys example

  const forbiddenStrings = { bad: 1, worse: 2, worst: 3 } as const;
  const a: string & NotIn<keyof typeof forbiddenStrings> = "bad";
  //    ^ TS should complain

• Compare objects of different types to ensure none contain the same keys or elements (in the case of arrays)

  const wordsA: string[] & NoIntersect<typeof wordsB, keyof typeof wordsC> = ['a', 'b', 'c'] as const;
  //    ^ TS should complain
  const wordsB: string[] & NoIntersect<typeof wordsA, keyof typeof wordsC> = ['d', 'e', 'f'] as const;
  //    ^ TS should complain
  const wordsC: string[] & NoIntersect<typeof wordsA, typeof wordsB> = { g: 1, h: 2, i: 3 } as const;
  //    ^ TS should complain

I'm' not sure what the API for this would look like, likely not what I showed above but something more argument-based like this…

type SomeType = NoIntersect<typeof wordsB, keyof typeof wordsC>;

…if the base type can be inferred, otherwise passed explicitly as the first arg like this:

type SomeType = NoIntersect<string[], typeof wordsB, keyof typeof wordsC>;

This is not possible in typescript. Feature request was rejected long time ago from TS team : https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/47178
