{{alias}}( value )
    Returns the minimum ndarray data type of the closest "kind" necessary for
    storing a provided scalar value.

    The function does *not* provide precision guarantees for non-integer-valued
    numbers. In other words, the function returns the smallest possible
    floating-point (i.e., inexact) data type for storing numbers having
    decimals.

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

    Returns
    -------
    dt: string
        ndarray data type.

    Examples
    --------
    > var dt = {{alias}}( 3.141592653589793 )
    'float32'
    > dt = {{alias}}( 3 )
    'uint8'
    > dt = {{alias}}( -3 )
    'int8'
    > dt = {{alias}}( '-3' )
    'generic'
