enumValues.include() accepts only values from the enum

So, I have been facing a problem and I can explain it with an example.

Let us say I have the following enum:

const supportTicketStatus = pgEnum("support_ticket_status", [
  "open",
  "closed",
  "resolved",
  "in_progress",
]);

and I want to check if a string is present in it:

const temp = "temp";
supportTicketStatus.enumValues.include(temp);

VS Code shows me the following message:

Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type '"open" | "closed" | "resolved" | "in_progress"'

If I can only check values that are already a art of the enum, the includes method is redundant. Ideally, that message should not be shown

I can obviously do this to escape the problem:

const temp = "temp";
supportTicketStatus.enumValues.include(temp as any);

but that is a workaround
