  *
  *    first_array.equal? second_array       #=> false
  *
  *  In the last form, an array of the given size is created.  Each element in
  *  this array is created by passing the element's index to the given block
  *  and storing the return value.
  *
  *    Array.new(3){ |index| index ** 2 }
  *    # => [0, 1, 4]
  *
  *  == Common gotchas
  *
  *  When sending the second parameter, the same object will be used as the
  *  value for all the array elements:
  *
  *     a = Array.new(2, Hash.new)
  *     # => [{}, {}]
  *
  *     a[0]['cat'] = 'feline'
  *     a # => [{"cat"=>"feline"}, {"cat"=>"feline"}]
  *
  *     a[1]['cat'] = 'Felix'
  *     a # => [{"cat"=>"Felix"}, {"cat"=>"Felix"}]
  *
  *  Since all the Array elements store the same hash, changes to one of them
  *  will affect them all.
  *
  *  If multiple copies are what you want, you should use the block
  *  version which uses the result of that block each time an element
  *  of the array needs to be initialized:
  *
  *     a = Array.new(2) { Hash.new }
  *     a[0]['cat'] = 'feline'
  *     a # => [{"cat"=>"feline"}, {}]

  *     ary.bsearch {|x| block }  -> elem
  *
  *  By using binary search, finds a value from this array which meets
  *  the given condition in O(log n) where n is the size of the array.
  *
  *  You can use this method in two use cases: a find-minimum mode and
  *  a find-any mode.  In either case, the elements of the array must be
  *  monotone (or sorted) with respect to the block.
  *
  *  In find-minimum mode (this is a good choice for typical use case),
  *  the block must return true or false, and there must be an index i
  *  (0 <= i <= ary.size) so that:
  *
  *  - the block returns false for any element whose index is less than
  *    i, and
  *  - the block returns true for any element whose index is greater
  *    than or equal to i.
  *
  *  This method returns the i-th element.  If i is equal to ary.size,
  *  it returns nil.
  *
  *     ary = [0, 4, 7, 10, 12]
  *     ary.bsearch {|x| x >=   4 } #=> 4
  *     ary.bsearch {|x| x >=   6 } #=> 7
  *     ary.bsearch {|x| x >=  -1 } #=> 0
  *     ary.bsearch {|x| x >= 100 } #=> nil
  *
  *  In find-any mode (this behaves like libc's bsearch(3)), the block
  *  must return a number, and there must be two indices i and j
  *  (0 <= i <= j <= ary.size) so that:
  *
  *  - the block returns a positive number for ary[k] if 0 <= k < i,
  *  - the block returns zero for ary[k] if i <= k < j, and
  *  - the block returns a negative number for ary[k] if
  *    j <= k < ary.size.
  *
  *  Under this condition, this method returns any element whose index
  *  is within i...j.  If i is equal to j (i.e., there is no element
  *  that satisfies the block), this method returns nil.
  *
  *     ary = [0, 4, 7, 10, 12]
  *     # try to find v such that 4 <= v < 8
  *     ary.bsearch {|x| 1 - x / 4 } #=> 4 or 7
  *     # try to find v such that 8 <= v < 10
  *     ary.bsearch {|x| 4 - x / 2 } #=> nil
  *
  *  You must not mix the two modes at a time; the block must always
  *  return either true/false, or always return a number.  It is
  *  undefined which value is actually picked up at each iteration.

 /*
  *  Arrays are ordered, integer-indexed collections of any object.
  *
  *  Array indexing starts at 0, as in C or Java.  A negative index is assumed
  *  to be relative to the end of the array---that is, an index of -1 indicates
  *  the last element of the array, -2 is the next to last element in the
  *  array, and so on.
  *
  *  == Creating Arrays
  *
  *  A new array can be created by using the literal constructor
  *  <code>[]</code>.  Arrays can contain different types of objects.  For
  *  example, the array below contains an Integer, a String and a Float:
  *
  *     ary = [1, "two", 3.0] #=> [1, "two", 3.0]
  *
  *  An array can also be created by explicitly calling Array.new with zero, one
  *  (the initial size of the Array) or two arguments (the initial size and a
  *  default object).
  *
  *     ary = Array.new    #=> []
  *     Array.new(3)       #=> [nil, nil, nil]
  *     Array.new(3, true) #=> [true, true, true]
  *
  *  Note that the second argument populates the array with references to the
  *  same object.  Therefore, it is only recommended in cases when you need to
  *  instantiate arrays with natively immutable objects such as Symbols,
  *  numbers, true or false.
  *
  *  To create an array with separate objects a block can be passed instead.
  *  This method is safe to use with mutable objects such as hashes, strings or
  *  other arrays:
  *
  *     Array.new(4) { Hash.new } #=> [{}, {}, {}, {}]
  *
  *  This is also a quick way to build up multi-dimensional arrays:
  *
  *     empty_table = Array.new(3) { Array.new(3) }
  *     #=> [[nil, nil, nil], [nil, nil, nil], [nil, nil, nil]]
  *
  *  An array can also be created by using the Array() method, provided by
  *  Kernel, which tries to call #to_ary, then #to_a on its argument.
  *
  *      Array({:a => "a", :b => "b"}) #=> [[:a, "a"], [:b, "b"]]
  *
  *  == Example Usage
  *
  *  In addition to the methods it mixes in through the Enumerable module, the
  *  Array class has proprietary methods for accessing, searching and otherwise
  *  manipulating arrays.
  *
  *  Some of the more common ones are illustrated below.
  *
  *  == Accessing Elements
  *
  *  Elements in an array can be retrieved using the Array#[] method.  It can
  *  take a single integer argument (a numeric index), a pair of arguments
  *  (start and length) or a range.
  *
  *     arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  *     arr[2]    #=> 3
  *     arr[100]  #=> nil
  *     arr[-3]   #=> 4
  *     arr[2, 3] #=> [3, 4, 5]
  *     arr[1..4] #=> [2, 3, 4, 5]
  *
  *  Another way to access a particular array element is by using the #at method
  *
  *     arr.at(0) #=> 1
  *
  *  The #slice method works in an identical manner to Array#[].
  *
  *  To raise an error for indices outside of the array bounds or else to
  *  provide a default value when that happens, you can use #fetch.
  *
  *     arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f']
  *     arr.fetch(100) #=> IndexError: index 100 outside of array bounds: -6...6
  *     arr.fetch(100, "oops") #=> "oops"
  *
  *  The special methods #first and #last will return the first and last
  *  elements of an array, respectively.
  *
  *     arr.first #=> 1
  *     arr.last  #=> 6
  *
  *  To return the first +n+ elements of an array, use #take
  *
  *     arr.take(3) #=> [1, 2, 3]
  *
  *  #drop does the opposite of #take, by returning the elements after +n+
  *  elements have been dropped:
  *
  *     arr.drop(3) #=> [4, 5, 6]
  *
  *  == Obtaining Information about an Array
  *
  *  Arrays keep track of their own length at all times.  To query an array
  *  about the number of elements it contains, use #length, #count or #size.
  *
  *    browsers = ['Chrome', 'Firefox', 'Safari', 'Opera', 'IE']
  *    browsers.length #=> 5
  *    browsers.count #=> 5
  *
  *  To check whether an array contains any elements at all
  *
  *    browsers.empty? #=> false
  *
  *  To check whether a particular item is included in the array
  *
  *    browsers.include?('Konqueror') #=> false
  *
  *  == Adding Items to Arrays
  *
  *  Items can be added to the end of an array by using either #push or #<<
  *
  *    arr = [1, 2, 3, 4]
  *    arr.push(5) #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  *    arr << 6    #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  *
  *  #unshift will add a new item to the beginning of an array.
  *
  *     arr.unshift(0) #=> [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  *
  *  With #insert you can add a new element to an array at any position.
  *
  *     arr.insert(3, 'apple')  #=> [0, 1, 2, 'apple', 3, 4, 5, 6]
  *
  *  Using the #insert method, you can also insert multiple values at once:
  *
  *     arr.insert(3, 'orange', 'pear', 'grapefruit')
  *     #=> [0, 1, 2, "orange", "pear", "grapefruit", "apple", 3, 4, 5, 6]
  *
  *  == Removing Items from an Array
  *
  *  The method #pop removes the last element in an array and returns it:
  *
  *     arr =  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  *     arr.pop #=> 6
  *     arr #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  *
  *  To retrieve and at the same time remove the first item, use #shift:
  *
  *     arr.shift #=> 1
  *     arr #=> [2, 3, 4, 5]
  *
  *  To delete an element at a particular index:
  *
  *     arr.delete_at(2) #=> 4
  *     arr #=> [2, 3, 5]
  *
  *  To delete a particular element anywhere in an array, use #delete:
  *
  *     arr = [1, 2, 2, 3]
  *     arr.delete(2) #=> 2
  *     arr #=> [1,3]
  *
  *  A useful method if you need to remove +nil+ values from an array is
  *  #compact:
  *
  *     arr = ['foo', 0, nil, 'bar', 7, 'baz', nil]
  *     arr.compact  #=> ['foo', 0, 'bar', 7, 'baz']
  *     arr          #=> ['foo', 0, nil, 'bar', 7, 'baz', nil]
  *     arr.compact! #=> ['foo', 0, 'bar', 7, 'baz']
  *     arr          #=> ['foo', 0, 'bar', 7, 'baz']
  *
  *  Another common need is to remove duplicate elements from an array.
  *
  *  It has the non-destructive #uniq, and destructive method #uniq!
  *
  *     arr = [2, 5, 6, 556, 6, 6, 8, 9, 0, 123, 556]
  *     arr.uniq #=> [2, 5, 6, 556, 8, 9, 0, 123]
  *
  *  == Iterating over Arrays
  *
  *  Like all classes that include the Enumerable module, Array has an each
  *  method, which defines what elements should be iterated over and how.  In
  *  case of Array's #each, all elements in the Array instance are yielded to
  *  the supplied block in sequence.
  *
  *  Note that this operation leaves the array unchanged.
  *
  *     arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  *     arr.each { |a| print a -= 10, " " }
  *     # prints: -9 -8 -7 -6 -5
  *     #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  *
  *  Another sometimes useful iterator is #reverse_each which will iterate over
  *  the elements in the array in reverse order.
  *
  *     words = %w[rats live on no evil star]
  *     str = ""
  *     words.reverse_each { |word| str += "#{word.reverse} " }
  *     str #=> "rats live on no evil star "
  *
  *  The #map method can be used to create a new array based on the original
  *  array, but with the values modified by the supplied block:
  *
  *     arr.map { |a| 2*a }   #=> [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
  *     arr                   #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  *     arr.map! { |a| a**2 } #=> [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
  *     arr                   #=> [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
  *
  *  == Selecting Items from an Array
  *
  *  Elements can be selected from an array according to criteria defined in a
  *  block.  The selection can happen in a destructive or a non-destructive
  *  manner.  While the destructive operations will modify the array they were
  *  called on, the non-destructive methods usually return a new array with the
  *  selected elements, but leave the original array unchanged.
  *
  *  === Non-destructive Selection
  *
  *     arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  *     arr.select { |a| a > 3 }     #=> [4, 5, 6]
  *     arr.reject { |a| a < 3 }     #=> [4, 5, 6]
  *     arr.drop_while { |a| a < 4 } #=> [4, 5, 6]
  *     arr                          #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  *
  *  === Destructive Selection
  *
  *  #select! and #reject! are the corresponding destructive methods to #select
  *  and #reject
  *
  *  Similar to #select vs. #reject, #delete_if and #keep_if have the exact
  *  opposite result when supplied with the same block:
  *
  *     arr.delete_if { |a| a < 4 } #=> [4, 5, 6]
  *     arr                         #=> [4, 5, 6]
  *
  *     arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  *     arr.keep_if { |a| a < 4 } #=> [1, 2, 3]
  *     arr                       #=> [1, 2, 3]
  *
