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).

    eachindex(A...)

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)`. For other array types, return a specialized Cartesian
range to efficiently index into the array with indices specified for every dimension. For
other iterables, including strings and dictionaries, return an iterator object
supporting arbitrary index types (e.g. unevenly spaced or non-integer indices).

If you supply more than one `AbstractArray` argument, `eachindex` will create an
iterable object that is fast for all arguments (a [`UnitRange`](@ref)
if all inputs have fast linear indexing, a [`CartesianIndices`](@ref)

iterable that spans the largest range along each dimension.

# default arguments to similar()
"""
    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 Array{Int64,2}:
 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 BitArray{1}:
 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

Concatenate the input arrays along the specified dimensions in the iterable `dims`. For
dimensions not in `dims`, all input arrays should have the same size, which will also be the
size of the output array along that dimension. For dimensions in `dims`, the size of the
output array is the sum of the sizes of the input arrays along that dimension. If `dims` is
a single number, the different arrays are tightly stacked along that dimension. If `dims` is
an iterable containing several dimensions, this allows one to construct block diagonal
matrices and their higher-dimensional analogues by simultaneously increasing several
dimensions for every new input array and putting zero blocks elsewhere. For example,
`cat(matrices...; dims=(1,2))` builds a block diagonal matrix, i.e. a block matrix with
`matrices[1]`, `matrices[2]`, ... as diagonal blocks and matching zero blocks away from the
diagonal.

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

Call function `f` on each element of iterable `c`.
For multiple iterable arguments, `f` is called elementwise.
`foreach` should be used instead of `map` when the results of `f` are not
needed, for example in `foreach(println, array)`.

# Examples
```jldoctest
julia> a = 1:3:7;

julia> foreach(x -> println(x^2), a)
1

## 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` using function `f`. `f` is called on each slice
of `A` of the form `A[...,:,...,:,...]`. `dims` is an integer vector specifying where the
colons go in this expression. The results are concatenated along the remaining dimensions.
For example, if `dims` is `[1,2]` and `A` is 4-dimensional, `f` is called on `A[:,:,i,j]`
for all `i` and `j`.

## hashing AbstractArray ##

function hash(A::AbstractArray, h::UInt)
    h = hash(AbstractArray, h)
    # Axes are themselves AbstractArrays, so hashing them directly would stack overflow
    # Instead hash the tuple of firsts and lasts along each dimension
    h = hash(map(first, axes(A)), h)
    h = hash(map(last, axes(A)), h)
    isempty(A) && return h

    # 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, blindly choosing log(N) 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.

    # This is a little tricky since skipping an integer number of values inherently works
    # 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
    linear_to_key = vec(ks)           # And vice-versa

    # Start at the last index
    keyidx = last(ks)
    linidx = key_to_linear[keyidx]
    fibskip = prevfibskip = oneunit(linidx)
    n = 0
    while true
        n += 1
        # Hash the current key-index and its element
        elt = A[keyidx]
        h = hash(keyidx=>elt, h)

        # Skip backwards a Fibonacci number of indices -- this is a linear index operation
        linidx = key_to_linear[keyidx]
        linidx <= fibskip && break
        linidx -= fibskip
        keyidx = linear_to_key[linidx]

        # Only increase the Fibonacci skip once every N iterations. This was chosen
        # to be big enough that all elements of small arrays get hashed while
        # obscenely large arrays are still tractable. With a choice of N=4096, an
        # entirely-distinct 8000-element array will have ~75% of its elements hashed,
        # with every other element hashed in the first half of the array. At the same
        # time, hashing a `typemax(Int64)`-length Float64 range takes about a second.
        if rem(n, 4096) == 0
