Make Compatible Brands in 3rd party library

I'm trying to make the brands in library (

umo-types

umo-types

) compatible with effect's

Brand

Brand

type, without requiring

effect

effect

as a peer dependency. Is this possible?

Essentially, I can branding things like this in my library:

import type { Brand } from "effect/Brand";
export type Unit<A, B> = number & Brand<"uom"> & { __a: A; __b: B; };

import type { Brand } from "effect/Brand";
export type Unit<A, B> = number & Brand<"uom"> & { __a: A; __b: B; };

But this requires

effect

effect

to be a peer dependency.
Is there anyway I make the type compatible by either not directly using

effect

effect

or by somehow using

{}

{}

instead of

Brand<"uom">

Brand<"uom">

effect

effect

isn't present?

Any ideas?
