{{alias}}( dtype, buffer, shape, strides, offset, order[, options] )
    Returns an ndarray.

    Parameters
    ----------
    dtype: string
        Underlying data type.

    buffer: ArrayLikeObject|TypedArray|Buffer
        Data buffer. A data buffer must be an array-like object (i.e., have a
        `length` property). For data buffers which are not indexed collections
        (i.e., collections which cannot support direct index access, such as
        `buffer[ index ]`; e.g., Complex64Array, Complex128Array, etc), a data
        buffer should provide `#.get( idx )` and `#.set( v[, idx] )` methods.
        Note that, for `set` methods, the value to set should be the first
        argument, followed by the linear index, similar to the native typed
        array `set` method.

    shape: ArrayLikeObject<integer>
        Array shape.

    strides: ArrayLikeObject<integer>
        Array strides.

    offset: integer
        Index offset.

    order: string
        Specifies whether an array is row-major (C-style) or column-major
        (Fortran-style).

    options: Object (optional)
        Options.

    options.mode: string (optional)
        Specifies how to handle indices which exceed array dimensions. If equal
        to 'throw', an ndarray instance throws an error when an index exceeds
        array dimensions. If equal to 'wrap', an ndarray instance wraps around
        indices exceeding array dimensions using modulo arithmetic. If equal to
        'clamp', an ndarray instance sets an index exceeding array dimensions to
        either `0` (minimum index) or the maximum index. Default: 'throw'.

    options.submode: Array<string> (optional)
        Specifies how to handle subscripts which exceed array dimensions. If a
        mode for a corresponding dimension is equal to 'throw', an ndarray
        instance throws an error when a subscript exceeds array dimensions. If
        equal to 'wrap', an ndarray instance wraps around subscripts exceeding
        array dimensions using modulo arithmetic. If equal to 'clamp', an
        ndarray instance sets a subscript exceeding array dimensions to either
        `0` (minimum index) or the maximum index. If the number of modes is
        fewer than the number of dimensions, the function recycles modes using
        modulo arithmetic. Default: [ options.mode ].

    Returns

    ndarray: ndarray
        ndarray instance.

    <ndarray>

    // Get an element using subscripts:
    > var v = arr.get( 1, 1 )

    // Get an element using a linear index:
    > v = arr.iget( 3 )
    4.0

    // Set an element using subscripts:
    > arr.set( 1, 1, 40.0 );
    > arr.get( 1, 1 )
