LGTM for just the case of a type parameter, thanks! Just requesting a bit more test coverage please. ✨

[JoshuaKGoldberg]

[Testing] The cases of T extends 'a' (always truthy) and T extends 'a' | null (still needing ??) seem to work, but aren't explicitly covered for ?? cases. Could you add in a couple more unit tests along those lines please?

[dora1998]

Oh sorry, I added them!
I also added a alwaysNullish case 😄

[JoshuaKGoldberg]

💯 thanks!
