+Creates and returns an array of type @var{prototype} with dimensions @var{bound1}, @var{bound2},
+@dots{} and filled with elements from @var{prototype}. @var{prototype} must be an array,
+vector, or string. The implementation-dependent type of the returned
+array will be the same as the type of @var{prototype}; except if that would be a
+vector or string with non-zero origin, in which case some variety of
+array will be returned.
+
+If the @var{prototype} has no elements, then the initial contents of the returned
+array are unspecified. Otherwise, the returned array will be filled
+with the element at the origin of @var{prototype}.
