/**
 * @since 2.0.0
 *
 * The `NonEmptyIterable` module provides types and utilities for working with iterables
 * that are guaranteed to contain at least one element. This provides compile-time
 * safety when working with collections that must not be empty.
 *
 * ## Key Features
 *
 * - **Type Safety**: Compile-time guarantee that the iterable contains at least one element
 * - **Iterator Protocol**: Fully compatible with JavaScript's built-in iteration protocol
 * - **Functional Operations**: Safe operations that preserve the non-empty property
 * - **Lightweight**: Minimal overhead with maximum type safety
 *
 * ## Why NonEmptyIterable?
 *
 * Many operations require non-empty collections to be meaningful:
 * - Finding the maximum or minimum value
 * - Getting the first or last element
 * - Reducing without an initial value
 * - Operations that would otherwise need runtime checks
 *
 * ## Basic Usage
 *
 * ```ts
 * import * as NonEmptyIterable from "effect/NonEmptyIterable"
 *
 * // NonEmptyIterable is a type that represents any iterable with at least one element
 * function processNonEmpty<A>(data: NonEmptyIterable.NonEmptyIterable<A>): A {
 *   // Safe to get the first element - guaranteed to exist
 *   const [first] = NonEmptyIterable.unprepend(data)
 *   return first
 * }
 *
 * // Using Array.make to create non-empty arrays
 * const numbers = Array.make(
 *   1,
 *   2,
 *   3,
 *   4,
 *   5
 * ) as unknown as NonEmptyIterable.NonEmptyIterable<number>
 * const firstNumber = processNonEmpty(numbers) // number
 *
 * // Regular arrays can be asserted as NonEmptyIterable when known to be non-empty
 * const values = [1, 2, 3] as unknown as NonEmptyIterable.NonEmptyIterable<number>
 * const firstValue = processNonEmpty(values) // number
 *
 * // Custom iterables that are guaranteed non-empty
 * function* generateNumbers(): NonEmptyIterable.NonEmptyIterable<number> {
 *   yield 1
 *   yield 2
 *   yield 3
 * }
 *
 * const firstGenerated = processNonEmpty(generateNumbers()) // number
 * ```
 *
 * ## Working with Different Iterable Types
 *
 * ```ts
 * import { Array } from "effect"
 *
 * // Creating non-empty arrays
 * const nonEmptyArray = Array.make(
 *   1,
 *   2,
 *   3
 * ) as unknown as NonEmptyIterable.NonEmptyIterable<number>
 *
 * // Working with strings (assert as NonEmptyIterable when known to be non-empty)
 * const nonEmptyString = "hello" as unknown as NonEmptyIterable.NonEmptyIterable<
 *   string
 * >
 * const [firstChar] = NonEmptyIterable.unprepend(nonEmptyString)
 * console.log(firstChar) // "h"
 *
 * // Working with Maps (assert when known to be non-empty)
 * const nonEmptyMap = new Map([
 *   ["key1", "value1"],
 *   ["key2", "value2"]
 * ]) as unknown as NonEmptyIterable.NonEmptyIterable<[string, string]>
 * const [firstEntry] = NonEmptyIterable.unprepend(nonEmptyMap)
 * console.log(firstEntry) // ["key1", "value1"]
 *
 * // Custom generator functions
 * function* fibonacci(): NonEmptyIterable.NonEmptyIterable<number> {
 *   let a = 1, b = 1
 *   yield a
 *   while (true) {
 *     yield b
 *     const next = a + b
 *     a = b
 *     b = next
 *   }
 * }
 *
 * const [firstFib, restFib] = NonEmptyIterable.unprepend(
 *   fibonacci() as unknown as NonEmptyIterable.NonEmptyIterable<number>
 * )
 * console.log(firstFib) // 1
 * ```
 *
 * ## Integration with Effect Arrays
 *
 * ```ts
 * import { Array, pipe } from "effect"
 * import type * as NonEmptyIterable from "effect/NonEmptyIterable"
 * import type * as NonEmptyIterable from "effect/NonEmptyIterable"
 *
 * // Many Array functions work with NonEmptyIterable
 * declare const nonEmptyData: NonEmptyIterable.NonEmptyIterable<number>
 *
 * const processData = pipe(
 *   nonEmptyData,
 *   Array.fromIterable,
 *   Array.map((x) => x * 2),
 *   Array.filter((x) => x > 5)
 *   // Result is a regular array since filtering might make it empty
 * )
 *
 * // Safe operations that preserve non-emptiness
 * const doubledData = pipe(
 *   nonEmptyData,
 *   Array.fromIterable,
 *   Array.map((x) => x * 2)
 *   // This would still be non-empty if the source was non-empty
 * )
 * ```
 */
/**
 * A unique symbol used to brand the `NonEmptyIterable` type.
 *
 * This symbol ensures that `NonEmptyIterable<A>` is a distinct type from regular
 * `Iterable<A>`, providing compile-time guarantees about non-emptiness while
 * maintaining full compatibility with the JavaScript iteration protocol.
 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * import type * as NonEmptyIterable from "effect/NonEmptyIterable"
 *
 * // The symbol is used internally for type branding
 * declare const data: NonEmptyIterable.NonEmptyIterable<number>
 *
 * // This has the nonEmpty symbol property (not accessible at runtime)
 * // but is still a regular Iterable for all practical purposes
 * for (const item of data) {
 *   console.log(item) // Works normally
 * }
 *
 * // Can be used with any function expecting an Iterable
 * const array = Array.from(data)
 * const set = new Set(data)
 * ```

 * Represents an iterable that is guaranteed to contain at least one element.
 *
 * `NonEmptyIterable<A>` extends the standard `Iterable<A>` interface with a type-level
 * guarantee of non-emptiness. This allows for safe operations that would otherwise
 * require runtime checks or could throw exceptions.
 *
 * The type is branded with a unique symbol to ensure type safety while maintaining
 * full compatibility with JavaScript's iteration protocol.
 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * import { Array } from "effect"

 * import * as NonEmptyIterable from "effect/NonEmptyIterable"
 *
 * // Function that requires non-empty data
 * function getFirst<A>(data: NonEmptyIterable.NonEmptyIterable<A>): A {
 *   // Safe - guaranteed to have at least one element
 *   const [first] = NonEmptyIterable.unprepend(data)
 *   return first
 * }
 *
 * // Works with any non-empty iterable
 * const numbers = Array.make(
 *   1,
 *   2,
 *   3
 * ) as unknown as NonEmptyIterable.NonEmptyIterable<number>
 * const firstNumber = getFirst(numbers) // 1
