/**
 * Returns an array that drops all elements in the given iterable until the
 * last element that does not match the given predicate.
 *
 * @typeParam T The type of the elements in the input array.
 *
 * @param iterable The iterable to drop elements from.
 * @param predicate The function to test each element for a condition.
 *
 * @returns An array that drops all elements until the last element that does
 * not match the given predicate.
 *
 * @example Basic usage
 * ```ts
 * import { dropLastWhile } from "@std/collections/unstable-drop-last-while";
 * import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";
 *
 * const numbers = [11, 42, 55, 20, 33, 44];
 *
 * const notFortyFour = dropLastWhile(numbers, (number) => number > 30);
 *
 * assertEquals(notFortyFour, [11, 42, 55, 20]);
 * ```
