{{alias}}( value[, dtype] )
    Returns a single-element array containing a provided scalar value.

    If `value` is a number and `dtype` is a complex number data type, the
    function returns a complex number array containing a complex number whose
    real component equals the provided scalar value and whose imaginary
    component is zero.

    Parameters
    ----------
    value: any
        Scalar value.

    dtype: string (optional)
        Data type. If not provided and `value`

        - is a number, the default data type is the default real-valued
          floating-point data type.
        - is a boolean, the default data type is the default boolean data type.
        - is a complex number object of a known complex data type, the data type
          is the same as the provided value.
        - is a complex number object of an unknown data type, the default data
          type is the default complex-valued floating-point data type.
        - is any other value type, the default data type is 'generic'.

    Returns
    -------
    out: Array|TypedArray
        Output array.

    Examples
    --------
    > var x = {{alias}}( 1.0 )
    <Float64Array>[ 1.0 ]
