+ * Checks if the given array is non-empty.

+ * This function is a type guard that not only checks whether the array has at least one element,
+ * but also refines the type of the array to be a tuple indicating that the first element exists.
+ * This is useful for preventing operations on empty arrays and for gaining type-level assurances.
+ *
+ * @template T - The type of elements within the array.
+ * @param {T[]} array - The array to be checked, which should be read-only.
+ * @returns {array is [T, ...T[]]} - Returns true if the array is non-empty, false otherwise.
