What's the use case you're trying to solve with this? Would the built-in Extract utility work?

Extract allows non-existent literal types but produces a never. Extends will actually complain if you pass an invalid type

Just complains in different spots. Looks like w/ this Extends it complains at the type definition and not usages. With Extract complains at usages b/c it is never.
If you wanted best of both worlds you could use type Extends<T, U extends T> = U extends T ? U : never
I'm guessing this is aimed at union types mostly since interfaces can just use extends keyword in their definition

Good suggestion. Fixed
