Add option to seal type in "setElementData"

[CrosRoad95]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Add another argument to setElementData like "bool sealType" which will make element data type can not be set after. For example:

setElementData(localPlayer, "number", 1,  sealType = true) -- initial set, everything okey
setElementData(localPlayer, "number", 2,  sealType = true) -- "seal" is ignored in this case, value changed to 2 because previously it was number, now this is number
setElementData(localPlayer, "number", false) -- error, unable to change because expected "number"
removeElementData(localPlayer, "number"); -- or destroy element to change element data type
setElementData(localPlayer, "number", false, sealType = true ) -- ok, now this is boolean
setElementData(localPlayer, "number", 1 ) -- error, expected boolean, got number

And make this hard error okey?

Describe the solution you'd like

don't use setElementData

Describe alternatives you've considered

don't use setElementData

Additional context

setElementData = evil, but i will propose more brillant improvments to this function that is root of most problems 😘

hey the idea of adding a sealType option to setElementData seems really interesting and useful. It could be a good security measure to prevent potential errors when trying to accidentally change data types. I have a few questions:
The exact purpose and the conditions under which this sealType feature would be activated should be clarified.
For example:
1- What will happen if a new value is assigned to a sealed data type? Will it trigger a warning or an error?
2- Will this feature apply to all data types, or are you planning to use it only for specific types?

Defining these clearly will make both the development process and the documentation much easier.

1. trigger hard error
2. apply only to lua types, number, string, table

First time element data get set should let you set type.
And indeed, it could decrease amount of errors you make, you may don't know that certain script set some element data incorrectly.
