Indexing into an existing Array

This macro call with return an Array that has a view of another Array. The Array returned due to the indexing operation will follow copy-on-write semantics. The Array identifier taken by this macro is passed to the relevant internal functions as a borrowed reference. Thus, this identifier will be still available for futher use after the macro call.

The following types of inputs are matched by this macro.

• A simple Array identifier.
• An Array with slicing info for indexing.
• An Array with slicing info and other arrays used for indexing.

Examples on how to use this macro are provided in the tutorials book
