Converting Unknown Properties to Values with Schema

Does anyone else often end up with schemas with some unknown properties which get decoded to values? I'm finding the following very helpful:

export const fromUnknown = <A, I, R>(
  s: Schema.Schema<A, I, R>,
): Schema.Schema<A, unknown, R> =>
  Schema.transformOrFail(
    Schema.unknown,
    Schema.to(s),
    ParseResult.decodeUnknown(s),
    ParseResult.encode(s),
  );

export const fromUnknown = <A, I, R>(
  s: Schema.Schema<A, I, R>,
): Schema.Schema<A, unknown, R> =>
  Schema.transformOrFail(
    Schema.unknown,
    Schema.to(s),
    ParseResult.decodeUnknown(s),
    ParseResult.encode(s),
  );
