Ensure that a that a specific type that we are declaring extends a more generic type
Use case example 1:
type MyObject = { p1: string; p2: string; a: string; b: string; };
We want to define a type that consist in an union of all the property name that are letters:
type AlphabeticalKeys = Id<keyof MyObject, "a" | "b">;
Here AlphabeticalKeys is "a" | "b" but it's better than simply writing it explicitly as we get autocompletion and we can't include a property name that does not exist on MyObject.
Use case example 2:
We want to declare object type that only take string or number as key value:
export type MyObject = Id<Record<string, string | number>, { p1: string; p2: number; }>;
If later on someone adds "p3": string[] he will get a type error.
