A comment on Adding type safety to object IDs in TypeScript.

I wonder if a similar (but maybe more bloated) implementation using interfaces (and probably generics too?) will work in this case.

Something like this, maybe?

Alternatively, with generics: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play?#code/JYOwLgpgTgZghgYwgA...

I don't think these are better, to be honest. The string types suffice and are easier to exchange with servers and other APIs.
