    d: undefined as { e: boolean } | undefined,
  }
};

NullSafe.get(obj, 'a', 'b'); // returns 123 as number | null | undefined
NullSafe.get(obj, 'a', 'c', 0); // returns 'e' as string | null | undefined
NullSafe.get(obj, 'a', 'd', 'e'); // returns undefined as boolean | null | undefined
NullSafe.get(obj, 'a', 'x'); // TS compilation error: Argument of type '"x"' is not assignable to parameter of type '"b" | "c" | "b"'.

NullSafe.default(obj, 'a', 'b', 456); // returns 123
NullSafe.default(obj, 'a', '5', 5, 'value'); // returns 'value'
NullSafe.default(obj, 'a' 'd', 'e', true); // returns true

NullSafe.set(obj, 'a', 'd', 'e', true); // obj.a.d is now { e: true }
NullSafe.set(obj, 'a', 'b', 'abc'); // TS compilation error: Argument of type '"abc"' is not assignable to parameter of type 'number'.
