Although looking at your type, I'm not sure why you would want a tuple made entirely of literals. Do you perhaps want a v.union ?
const v1 = v.union(v.literal("sunday"), v.literal("monday"), ...) would match values like "monday" and "wednesday".
const v2 = v.array(v.union(v.literal("sunday"), v.literal("monday"), ...)) would match values like ["monday"] and ["saturday", "sunday"] and ["monday", "monday", "tuesday"] (but not "monday" since it's not an array, or ["monday", "foo"] since "foo is not in the union)the
weekDayValidator from the original question, if it worked, would match exactly ["sunday", "monday", "tuesday", "wednesday", "thursday", "friday", "saturday"] and no other values, which doesn't sound particularly useful
