+// Sometimes we use `as const` to have a more specific type,
+// because TypeScript by default will widen the value type of an
+// array literal. Consider the following example:
+//
+// const filter = [
+//   { term: { 'agent.name': 'nodejs' } },
+//   { range: { '@timestamp': { gte: 'now-15m ' }}
+// ];
+
+// The result value type will be:
+
+// const filter: ({
+//   term: {
+//     'agent.name'?: string
+//   };
+//   range?: undefined
+// } | {
+//   term?: undefined;
+//   range: {
+//     '@timestamp': {
+//       gte: string
+//     }
+//   }
+// })[];
+
+// This can sometimes leads to issues. In those cases, we can
+// use `as const`. However, the Readonly<any> type is not compatible
+// with Array<any>. This function returns a mutable version of a type.
