/**
Creates a new array type by adding or removing elements at a specified index range in the original array.

Use-case: Replace or insert items in an array type.

Like [`Array#splice()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/splice) but for types.

@example
```
type SomeMonths0 = ['January', 'April', 'June'];
type Mouths0 = ArraySplice<SomeMonths0, 1, 0, ['Feb', 'March']>;
//=> type Mouths0 = ['January', 'Feb', 'March', 'April', 'June'];

type SomeMonths1 = ['January', 'April', 'June'];
type Mouths1 = ArraySplice<SomeMonths1, 1, 1>;
//=> type Mouths1 = ['January', 'June'];

type SomeMonths2 = ['January', 'Foo', 'April'];
type Mouths2 = ArraySplice<SomeMonths2, 1, 1, ['Feb', 'March']>;
//=> type Mouths2 = ['January', 'Feb', 'March', 'April'];
