//   - **List**: An ordered collection of zero or more items.  ie: ["a", "b", "c"]
//   - **Vector**: A list of numbers. ie: [4, 5, 6]
//   - **Array**: A nested list of lists, or list of lists of lists, or deeper.  ie: [[2,3], [4,5], [6,7]]
//   - **Dimension**: The depth of nesting of lists in an array.  A List is 1D.  A list of lists is 2D.  etc.

// Function: array_group()
// Description:
//   Takes a flat array of values, and groups items in sets of `cnt` length.
//   The opposite of this is `flatten()`.
// Arguments:
//   v = The list of items to group.
//   cnt = The number of items to put in each grouping.

// Example:
//   v = [1,2,3,4,5,6];
//   array_group(v,2) returns [[1,2], [3,4], [5,6]]
//   array_group(v,3) returns [[1,2,3], [4,5,6]]
//   array_group(v,4,0) returns [[1,2,3,4], [5,6,0,0]]

// Description: Takes a list of lists and flattens it by one level.
// Arguments:
//   l = List to flatten.
// Example:
//   flatten([[1,2,3], [4,5,[6,7,8]]]) returns [1,2,3,4,5,[6,7,8]]

// Usage:
//   array_dim(v, [depth])
// Description:
//   Returns the size of a multi-dimensional array.  Returns a list of
//   dimension lengths.  The length of `v` is the dimension `0`.  The
//   length of the items in `v` is dimension `1`.  The length of the
//   items in the items in `v` is dimension `2`, etc.  For each dimension,
//   if the length of items at that depth is inconsistent, `undef` will
//   be returned.  If no items of that dimension depth exist, `0` is
//   returned.  Otherwise, the consistent length of items in that
//   dimensional depth is returned.
// Arguments:
//   v = Array to get dimensions of.
//   depth = Dimension to get size of.  If not given, returns a list of dimension lengths.
// Examples:
//   array_dim([[[1,2,3],[4,5,6]],[[7,8,9],[10,11,12]]]);     // Returns [2,2,3]
//   array_dim([[[1,2,3],[4,5,6]],[[7,8,9],[10,11,12]]], 0);  // Returns 2
//   array_dim([[[1,2,3],[4,5,6]],[[7,8,9],[10,11,12]]], 2);  // Returns 3
//   array_dim([[[1,2,3],[4,5,6]],[[7,8,9]]]);                // Returns [2,undef,3]

// Example:
//   arr = [
//       ["a", "b", "c"],

//       ["g", "h", "i"]

//   //     ["b", "e", "h"],
//   //     ["c", "f", "i"],

// Example:
//   arr = [
//       ["a", "b", "c"],
//       ["d", "e", "f"]
//   ];
//   t = transpose(arr);
//   // Returns:
//   // [
//   //     ["a", "d"],
//   //     ["b", "e"],
//   //     ["c", "f"],
//   // ]
// Example:
//   transpose([3,4,5]);  // Returns: [3,4,5]
