`[` obj1, obj2, ..., objN`]` | build an array of N objects The objI may be arrays to build multi-dimensional arrays.
`array(`value, dimlist`)` | add dimensions dimlist to value
`array(`type_name, dimlist`)` | return specified array, all zero
`span(`start, stop, n`)` | n equal stepped values from start to stop
`spanl(`start, stop, n`)` | n equal ratio values from start to stop
`grow,` var, sfx1, sfx2, ... | append sfx1, sfx1, etc. to var
These functions may be used to generate multi-dimensional arrays; use `help` for details.
