/**
Given a [literal type](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/everyday-types.html#literal-types) return the {@link Primitive | primitive type} it belongs to, or `never` if it's not a primitive.

Use-case: Working with generic types that may be literal types.

@example
```
import type {LiteralToPrimitive} from 'type-fest';

// No overloads needed to get the correct return type
function plus<T extends number | bigint | string>(x: T, y: T): LiteralToPrimitive<T> {
	return x + (y as any);
}

plus('a', 'b'); // string
plus(1, 2); // number
plus(1n, 2n); // bigint
```
