{{alias}}( x, shape )
    Broadcasts an ndarray to a specified shape.

    The returned array is a read-only view on the input array data buffer. The
    view is typically *not* contiguous. As more than one element of a returned
    view may refer to the same memory location, writing to the input array may
    affect multiple elements. If you need to write to the input array, copy the
    input array before broadcasting.

    The function throws an error if a provided ndarray is incompatible with a
    provided shape.

    The function always returns a new ndarray instance even if the input ndarray
    shape and the desired shape are the same.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x: ndarray
        Input array.

    shape: ArrayLikeObject
        Desired shape.

    Returns
    -------
    out: ndarray
        Broadcasted array.

    Examples
    --------
    > var x = {{alias:@stdlib/ndarray/array}}( [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ] )
    <ndarray>
    > var sh = x.shape
    [ 2, 2 ]
    > var y = {{alias}}( x, [ 3, 2, 2 ] )
    <ndarray>
    > sh = y.shape
    [ 3, 2, 2 ]
    > var v = y.get( 0, 0, 0 )
    1
    > v = y.get( 0, 0, 1 )
    2
    > v = y.get( 0, 1, 0 )
    3
    > v = y.get( 0, 1, 1 )
    4
    > v = y.get( 1, 0, 0 )
    1
    > v = y.get( 1, 1, 0 )
    3
    > v = y.get( 2, 0, 0 )
    1
    > v = y.get( 2, 1, 1 )
    4
