Description

Hello,

For use, the ArrayElement type is super convenient, yet we can only import it from the type-fest/source/internal path. In Deno this causes some import issues so I was wondering if the library could export ArrayElement directly from the main project?

Research direction
The issue requests exporting the `ArrayElement` type from the main package path instead of only through `type fest/source/internal`. To implement, examine the main entry file (likely `source/index.ts` or `index.ts`) to see how other types are exported. Then add an export for `ArrayElement` from the internal module. No linked PRs or maintainer comments are visible, so ensure the change follows the existing export pattern.
