how do i prevent non-nullable types in arguments

so we have the following convenience function:

export function asDefinedOr<T, D>(value: T | undefined, defaultValue: D): T | D {
    return value !== undefined ? value : defaultValue;
}

we would like to prevent the following from happening

declare var x : number;
asDefinedOr(x, 0); // <-- problem, unnecessary call, because x cannot be undefined

so we would like to make only T | undefined types allowed as aguments but not just T

is there a way to do it using conditional types?
