Description

Add Set type. Looks like Get

Example:

type InitValue = {}

type NewResult = Set<InitValue , 'level1.level2.level3',  number>

result:  {
 level1: {
   level2: {
     level3: number
   }
 }
}

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing `Get` type implementation in the repository to understand the pattern used for deeply accessing nested types. Then create a `Set` type that recursively sets a value at a given dot separated path, similar to how `Get` retrieves it.
