/**
 * Returns all elements in the given collection until the first element that
 * does not match the given predicate.
 *
 * Note: If you want to process any iterable, use the new version of
 * `takeWhile` from `@std/collections/unstable-take-while`.
 *
 * @typeParam T The type of the array elements.
 *
 * @param array The array to take elements from.
 * @param predicate The predicate function to determine if an element should be
 * included.
 *
 * @returns A new array containing all elements until the first element that
 * does not match the predicate.
 *
 * @example Basic usage
 * ```ts
 * import { takeWhile } from "@std/collections/take-while";
 * import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";
 *
 * const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
 *
 * const result = takeWhile(numbers, (number) => number < 4);
 *
 * assertEquals(result, [1, 2, 3]);
 * ```
