Returns a newly allocated associative array from a range of key/value tuples

Returns:

    A newly allocated associative array out of elements of the input
    range, which must be a range of tuples (Key, Value) or
    a range of keys and a range of values. If given two ranges of unequal
    lengths after the elements of the shorter are exhausted the remaining
    elements of the longer will not be considered.
    Returns a null associative array reference when given an empty range.
    Duplicates: Associative arrays have unique keys. If r contains duplicate keys,

Returns a new array of type `T` allocated on the garbage collected heap
without initializing its elements. This can be a useful optimization if every
element will be immediately initialized. `T` may be a multidimensional
array. In this case sizes may be specified for any number of dimensions from 0
to the number in `T`.

uninitializedArray is `nothrow` and weakly `pure`.

uninitializedArray is `@system` if the uninitialized element type has pointers.

Params:
    T = The type of the resulting array elements
    sizes = The length dimension(s) of the resulting array
Returns:

/++
Eagerly splits `range` into an array, using `sep` as the delimiter.

When no delimiter is provided, strings are split into an array of words,
using whitespace as delimiter.
Runs of whitespace are merged together (no empty words are produced).

The `range` must be a $(REF_ALTTEXT forward range, isForwardRange, std,range,primitives).
The separator can be a value of the same type as the elements in `range`
or it can be another forward `range`.

Params:
    s = the string to split by word if no separator is given
    range = the range to split
    sep = a value of the same type as the elements of `range` or another
    isTerminator = a predicate that splits the range when it returns `true`.

Returns:
    An array containing the divided parts of `range` (or the words of `s`).

See_Also:
$(REF splitter, std,algorithm,iteration) for a lazy version without allocating memory.

$(REF splitter, std,regex) for a version that splits using a regular
expression defined separator.

   Conservative heuristic to determine if a range can be iterated cheaply.
   Used by `join` in decision to do an extra iteration of the range to
   compute the resultant length. If iteration is not cheap then precomputing
   length could be more expensive than using `Appender`.

   For now, we only assume arrays are cheap to iterate.

/++
Constructs a static array from a dynamic array whose length is known at compile-time.
The element type can be inferred or specified explicitly:

* $(D [1, 2].staticArray) returns `int[2]`
* $(D [1, 2].staticArray!float) returns `float[2]`

Note: `staticArray` returns by value, so expressions involving large arrays may be inefficient.

Params:
    a = The input array.

Returns: A static array constructed from `a`.

/**
Constructs a static array from a range.
When `a.length` is not known at compile time, the number of elements must be
given as a template argument (e.g. `myrange.staticArray!2`).
Size and type can be combined, if the source range elements are implicitly
convertible to the requested element type (eg: `2.iota.staticArray!(long[2])`).

When the range `a` is known at compile time, it can be given as a
template argument to avoid having to specify the number of elements
(e.g.: `staticArray!(2.iota)` or `staticArray!(double, 2.iota)`).

Params:
    a = The input range. If there are less elements than the specified length of the static array,
    the rest of it is default-initialized. If there are more than specified, the first elements
    up to the specified length are used.
    rangeLength = Output for the number of elements used from `a`. Optional.
