Essential utilities for TypeScript projects

/**
A strongly-typed version of `Set#has()` that properly acts as a type guard.

When `setHas` returns `true`, the type is narrowed to the set's element type.
When it returns `false`, the type remains unchanged (i.e., `unknown` stays `unknown`).

It was [rejected](https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/42641#issuecomment-774168319) from being done in TypeScript itself.

@example
```
import {setHas} from 'ts-extras';

const values = ['a', 'b', 'c'] as const;
const valueSet = new Set(values);
const valueToCheck: unknown = 'a';

if (setHas(valueSet, valueToCheck)) {
    // We now know that the value is of type `typeof values[number]`.
} else {
    // The value remains `unknown`.
}
```
