You don't need a library for this; the idiomatic approach is to lean on TypeScript's narrowing and native control flow (ifs and switches, or maybe IIFEs), along with (maybe) the never type to enforce exhaustiveness.

I guess the library is slightly nicer, arguably, but I don't think it's worth the external dependency and added complexity.
