"""
    eltype(type)

Determine the type of the elements generated by iterating a collection of the given `type`.
For associative collection types, this will be a `Pair{KeyType,ValType}`. The definition
`eltype(x) = eltype(typeof(x))` is provided for convenience so that instances can be passed
instead of types. However the form that accepts a type argument should be defined for new
types.

```jldoctest
julia> eltype(ones(Float32,2,2))
Float32

julia> eltype(ones(Int8,2,2))
Int8
```

"""
    Array{T}(dims)
    Array{T,N}(dims)

Construct an uninitialized `N`-dimensional dense array with element type `T`,
where `N` is determined from the length or number of `dims`. `dims` may
be a tuple or a series of integer arguments corresponding to the lengths in each dimension.
If the rank `N` is supplied explicitly as in `Array{T,N}(dims)`, then it must
match the length or number of `dims`.
