How to use the decoders.maybe function in decoders

import { maybe, nullable, optional, string } from 'decoders';

optional(string); // $ExpectType Decoder
optional(optional(string)); // $ExpectType Decoder

nullable(string); // $ExpectType Decoder
nullable(nullable(string)); // $ExpectType Decoder

maybe(string); // $ExpectType Decoder
maybe(maybe(string)); // $ExpectType Decoder

import { maybe, nullable, optional, string } from 'decoders';

optional(string); // $ExpectType Decoder
optional(optional(string)); // $ExpectType Decoder

nullable(string); // $ExpectType Decoder
nullable(nullable(string)); // $ExpectType Decoder

maybe(string); // $ExpectType Decoder
maybe(maybe(string)); // $ExpectType Decoder
