Wrapping arktype with utilities
We have an implementation of an in-house ORM layer that is built upon arktype. It's been really amazing to work with and supports some of our huge model types that have hundreds of fields while remaining snappy.
We have a set of prebuilt core types that these models have to use in order for the downstream system to know how to persist and generate APIs around them appropriately. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how these could work with the core AT constructs because they encompass typing + defaulting behavior which we want standardized + metadata that the downstream systems use
we define our core model types like this
and then use them in model definitions like this
1. Is there a better way of setting this kind of thing up with scopes/modules or similar?
2. This works fine for these simple primitives, but I can't figure out the typing for enums, objects, or arrays. I'd like a way to take in the input to AT's type function and pass it through and still get all the nice type inference back so you could do things like

Is there a nice way to define a function like that?
