    AbstractArray{T,N}

Supertype for `N`-dimensional arrays (or array-like types) with elements of type `T`.
[`Array`](@ref) and other types are subtypes of this. See the manual section on the
[`AbstractArray` interface](@ref man-interface-array).

    size(A::AbstractArray, [dim])

Return a tuple containing the dimensions of `A`. Optionally you can specify a
dimension to just get the length of that dimension.

Note that `size` may not be defined for arrays with non-standard indices, in which case [`axes`](@ref)
may be useful. See the manual chapter on [arrays with custom indices](@ref man-custom-indices).

# Usage note

Each of the indices has to be an `AbstractUnitRange{<:Integer}`, but at the same time can be
a type that uses custom indices. So, for example, if you need a subset, use generalized
indexing constructs like `begin`/`end` or [`firstindex`](@ref)/[`lastindex`](@ref):

```julia
ix = axes(v, 1)
ix[2:end]          # will work for eg Vector, but may fail in general
ix[(begin+1):end]  # works for generalized indexes

    keys(a::AbstractArray)

Return an efficient array describing all valid indices for `a` arranged in the shape of `a` itself.

The keys of 1-dimensional arrays (vectors) are integers, whereas all other N-dimensional
arrays use [`CartesianIndex`](@ref) to describe their locations.  Often the special array
types [`LinearIndices`](@ref) and [`CartesianIndices`](@ref) are used to efficiently
represent these arrays of integers and `CartesianIndex`es, respectively.

Note that the `keys` of an array might not be the most efficient index type; for maximum
performance use  [`eachindex`](@ref) instead.

"""
    eachindex(A...)
    eachindex(::IndexStyle, A::AbstractArray...)

Create an iterable object for visiting each index of an `AbstractArray` `A` in an efficient
manner. For array types that have opted into fast linear indexing (like `Array`), this is
simply the range `1:length(A)` if they use 1-based indexing.
For array types that have not opted into fast linear indexing, a specialized Cartesian
range is typically returned to efficiently index into the array with indices specified
for every dimension.

In general `eachindex` accepts arbitrary iterables, including strings and dictionaries, and returns
an iterator object supporting arbitrary index types (e.g. unevenly spaced or non-integer indices).

If `A` is `AbstractArray` it is possible to explicitly specify the style of the indices that
should be returned by `eachindex` by passing a value having `IndexStyle` type as its first argument
(typically `IndexLinear()` if linear indices are required or `IndexCartesian()` if Cartesian
range is wanted).

If you supply more than one `AbstractArray` argument, `eachindex` will create an
iterable object that is fast for all arguments (typically a [`UnitRange`](@ref)
if all inputs have fast linear indexing, a [`CartesianIndices`](@ref) otherwise).
If the arrays have different sizes and/or dimensionalities, a `DimensionMismatch` exception
will be thrown.

See also [`pairs`](@ref)`(A)` to iterate over indices and values together,
and [`axes`](@ref)`(A, 2)` for valid indices along one dimension.

"""
    similar(array, [element_type=eltype(array)], [dims=size(array)])

Create an uninitialized mutable array with the given element type and size, based upon the
given source array. The second and third arguments are both optional, defaulting to the
given array's `eltype` and `size`. The dimensions may be specified either as a single tuple
argument or as a series of integer arguments.

Custom AbstractArray subtypes may choose which specific array type is best-suited to return
for the given element type and dimensionality. If they do not specialize this method, the
default is an `Array{element_type}(undef, dims...)`.

For example, `similar(1:10, 1, 4)` returns an uninitialized `Array{Int,2}` since ranges are
neither mutable nor support 2 dimensions:

```julia-repl
julia> similar(1:10, 1, 4)
1×4 Matrix{Int64}:
 4419743872  4374413872  4419743888  0
```

Conversely, `similar(trues(10,10), 2)` returns an uninitialized `BitVector` with two
elements since `BitArray`s are both mutable and can support 1-dimensional arrays:

```julia-repl
julia> similar(trues(10,10), 2)
2-element BitVector:
 0
 0
```

Since `BitArray`s can only store elements of type [`Bool`](@ref), however, if you request a
different element type it will create a regular `Array` instead:

```julia-repl
julia> similar(falses(10), Float64, 2, 4)
2×4 Matrix{Float64}:
 2.18425e-314  2.18425e-314  2.18425e-314  2.18425e-314

creates an array that "acts like" an `Array{Int}` (and might indeed be
backed by one), but which is indexed identically to `A`. If `A` has
conventional indexing, this will be identical to
`Array{Int}(undef, size(A))`, but if `A` has unconventional indexing then the
indices of the result will match `A`.

Concatenate arrays or numbers vertically. Equivalent to [`cat`](@ref)`(A...; dims=1)`,

To concatenate a large vector of arrays, `reduce(vcat, A)` calls an efficient method
when `A isa AbstractVector{<:AbstractVecOrMat}`, rather than working pairwise.

    cat(A...; dims)

Concatenate the input arrays along the dimensions specified in `dims`.

Along a dimension `d in dims`, the size of the output array is `sum(size(a,d) for
a in A)`.
Along other dimensions, all input arrays should have the same size,
which will also be the size of the output array along those dimensions.

If `dims` is a single number, the different arrays are tightly packed along that dimension.
If `dims` is an iterable containing several dimensions, the positions along these dimensions
are increased simultaneously for each input array, filling with zero elsewhere.
This allows one to construct block-diagonal matrices as `cat(matrices...; dims=(1,2))`,
and their higher-dimensional analogues.

The special case `dims=1` is [`vcat`](@ref), and `dims=2` is [`hcat`](@ref).
See also [`hvcat`](@ref), [`hvncat`](@ref), [`stack`](@ref), [`repeat`](@ref).

The keyword also accepts `Val(dims)`.

!!! compat "Julia 1.8"
    For multiple dimensions `dims = Val(::Tuple)` was added in Julia 1.8.

    hvncat(dims::Tuple{Vararg{Int}}, row_first, values...)
    hvncat(shape::Tuple{Vararg{Tuple}}, row_first, values...)

Horizontal, vertical, and n-dimensional concatenation of many `values` in one call.

This function is called for block matrix syntax. The first argument either specifies the
shape of the concatenation, similar to `hvcat`, as a tuple of tuples, or the dimensions that
specify the key number of elements along each axis, and is used to determine the output
dimensions. The `dims` form is more performant, and is used by default when the concatenation
operation has the same number of elements along each axis (e.g., [a b; c d;;; e f ; g h]).
The `shape` form is used when the number of elements along each axis is unbalanced
(e.g., [a b ; c]). Unbalanced syntax needs additional validation overhead. The `dim` form
is an optimization for concatenation along just one dimension. `row_first` indicates how
`values` are ordered. The meaning of the first and second elements of `shape` are also
swapped based on `row_first`.

"""
    stack(iter; [dims])

Combine a collection of arrays (or other iterable objects) of equal size
into one larger array, by arranging them along one or more new dimensions.

By default the axes of the elements are placed first,
giving `size(result) = (size(first(iter))..., size(iter)...)`.
This has the same order of elements as [`Iterators.flatten`](@ref)`(iter)`.

With keyword `dims::Integer`, instead the `i`th element of `iter` becomes the slice
[`selectdim`](@ref)`(result, dims, i)`, so that `size(result, dims) == length(iter)`.
In this case `stack` reverses the action of [`eachslice`](@ref) with the same `dims`.

The various [`cat`](@ref) functions also combine arrays. However, these all
extend the arrays' existing (possibly trivial) dimensions, rather than placing
the arrays along new dimensions.
They also accept arrays as separate arguments, rather than a single collection.

!!! compat "Julia 1.9"
    This function requires at least Julia 1.9.

true

julia> A == stack(E; dims=2)
true

julia> M = (fill(10i+j, 2, 3) for i in 1:5, j in 1:7);

julia> (element = size(first(M)), container = size(M))
(element = (2, 3), container = (5, 7))

julia> stack(M) |> size  # keeps all dimensions

    stack(f, args...; [dims])

Apply a function to each element of a collection, and `stack` the result.
Or to several collections, [`zip`](@ref)ped together.

The function should return arrays (or tuples, or other iterators) all of the same size.
These become slices of the result, each separated along `dims` (if given) or by default
along the last dimensions.

See also [`mapslices`](@ref), [`eachcol`](@ref).

## iteration utilities ##

"""
    foreach(f, c...) -> Nothing

Call function `f` on each element of iterable `c`.
For multiple iterable arguments, `f` is called elementwise, and iteration stops when
any iterator is finished.

`foreach` should be used instead of [`map`](@ref) when the results of `f` are not
needed, for example in `foreach(println, array)`.

# Examples
```jldoctest
julia> tri = 1:3:7; res = Int[];

julia> foreach(x -> push!(res, x^2), tri)

julia> res
3-element Vector{$(Int)}:
  1
 16

julia> foreach((x, y) -> println(x, " with ", y), tri, 'a':'z')
1 with a
4 with b
7 with c
```

## map over arrays ##

## transform any set of dimensions
## dims specifies which dimensions will be transformed. for example
## dims==1:2 will call f on all slices A[:,:,...]
"""
    mapslices(f, A; dims)

Transform the given dimensions of array `A` by applying a function `f` on each slice
of the form `A[..., :, ..., :, ...]`, with a colon at each `d` in `dims`. The results are
concatenated along the remaining dimensions.

For example, if `dims = [1,2]` and `A` is 4-dimensional, then `f` is called on `x = A[:,:,i,j]`
for all `i` and `j`, and `f(x)` becomes `R[:,:,i,j]` in the result `R`.

See also [`eachcol`](@ref) or [`eachslice`](@ref), used with [`map`](@ref) or [`stack`](@ref).

    # Goal: Hash approximately log(N) entries with a higher density of hashed elements
    # weighted towards the end and special consideration for repeated values. Colliding
    # hashes will often subsequently be compared by equality -- and equality between arrays
    # works elementwise forwards and is short-circuiting. This means that a collision
    # between arrays that differ by elements at the beginning is cheaper than one where the
    # difference is towards the end. Furthermore, choosing `log(N)` arbitrary entries from a
    # sparse array will likely only choose the same element repeatedly (zero in this case).

    # To achieve this, we work backwards, starting by hashing the last element of the
    # array. After hashing each element, we skip `fibskip` elements, where `fibskip`
    # is pulled from the Fibonacci sequence -- Fibonacci was chosen as a simple
    # ~O(log(N)) algorithm that ensures we don't hit a common divisor of a dimension
    # and only end up hashing one slice of the array (as might happen with powers of
    # two). Finally, we find the next distinct value from the one we just hashed.

    # with linear indices, but `findprev` uses `keys`. Hoist out the conversion "maps":
    ks = keys(A)
    key_to_linear = LinearIndices(ks) # Index into this map to compute the linear index
