std/arrays: new module for dealing with arrays #6

Open DeedleFake opened 7 years ago

DeedleFake commented 7 years ago

There should be an array module in the standard library for dealing with arrays in various ways. Specifically, it should have support for at least the following:

[x] ~Accessing a specific index.~ Dropped in favor of at in std. See #72.
[x] ~Getting the length of an array.~ Dropped in favor of len in std. See #72.
[x] Sorting.
[ ] Run an array as if it was a compound.

May also want to move the creation of streams from arrays from the stream module to this one.

A few more:

[x] concat. Alternatively, just stick this in + in std along with string concatenation.
[x] ~append. Similar to append() in Go. Need to make sure that slicing changes the capacity as well to make sure that this doesn't modify parts of existing slices.~ Dropped in favor of concat. See #122.

Even more:

[ ] streamReverse. Streams the array from the last index to the first.
