/**
 * Arr
 *
 * The Arr class provides a few helper methods to make dealing with arrays easier.
 *
 * All methods which work with string delimited keys accept a string delimiter. If none is given (ie. null is passed),
 * the default delimiter (dot) set statically in this class will be used.
 *
 * Some code in this class can be simplified and some duplication could be avoided but it is laid out so that the
 * most common use cases are checked for first with performance being the priority.
 *
 * Some methods have aliases. To avoid the overhead please use the base methods, not the aliases. The methods which
 * have aliases are documented as such and each alias directly points to the base method.
 *
 * Note: This class is based on Laravel, FuelPHP, Lo-dash and a few others, but certain methods which appear in
 * those are not included since they would add overhead we consider 'not worth it' and don't want to encourage
 * the use thereof:
 *
 *   - Arr::each()                      -> use array_map() instead.
 *   - Arr::filter(), Arr::reject()     -> use array_filter() instead.
 *   - Arr::range()                     -> use range() instead.
 *   - Arr::repeat()                    -> use array_fill() instead.
 *   - Arr::search()                    -> use array_search() instead.
 *   - Arr::shuffle()                   -> use shuffle() instead.
 *   - Arr::size()                      -> use count() instead.
