	Consider only fixed length arrays as tuples.

	- When set to `false`, arrays with at least one non-rest element (e.g., `[1, ...number[]]`) are considered as tuples.

	@example
	```ts
	import type {IsTuple} from 'type-fest';

	type Example1 = IsTuple<[number, ...number[]], {fixedLengthOnly: true}>;

	type Example2 = IsTuple<[number, ...number[]], {fixedLengthOnly: false}>;

/**
Returns a boolean for whether the given array is a tuple.

Use-case:
- If you want to make a conditional branch based on the result of whether an array is a tuple or not.

Note: `IsTuple` returns `boolean` when instantiated with a union of tuple and non-tuple (e.g., `IsTuple<[1, 2] | number[]>`).

@example
```ts
import type {IsTuple} from 'type-fest';

type Tuple = IsTuple<[1, 2, 3]>;
//=> true

type NotTuple = IsTuple<number[]>;
//=> false

type TupleWithOptionalItems = IsTuple<[1?, 2?]>;
//=> true

type RestItemsNotAllowed = IsTuple<[1, 2, ...number[]]>;
//=> false

type RestItemsAllowed = IsTuple<[1, 2, ...number[]], {fixedLengthOnly: false}>;
//=> true
```
