.. function:: fill(x, dims)

Create an array filled with the value ``x``
Create an array filled with copies of the value ``x``.
For e.g., ``fill(1.0, (10,10))`` returns a 10x10 array of floats, with each
element initialized to 1.0

If ``x`` is an object reference, all elements will refer to the same object.
For e.g., ``fill(Foo(), dims)``, will return an array filled with the result of evaluating Foo() once.

.. function:: fill!(A, x)

Fill the array ``A`` with the value ``x``
Fill the array ``A`` with copies of the value ``x``. If ``x`` is an object reference, all elements will refer to the same object.
For e.g., ``fill!(A, Foo())``, will return ``A`` filled with the result of evaluating Foo() once.

.. function:: reshape(A, dims)
