{{alias}}( x[, options] )
    Returns a read-only view of the first element (or subarray) along one or
    more ndarray dimensions.

    If provided an empty `dims` array, the function returns a read-only view
    of the input ndarray.

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

    options: Object (optional)
        Function options.

    options.dims: Array<integer> (optional)
        List of dimensions over which to perform the operation. If a dimension
        index is provided as an integer less than zero, the dimension index is
        resolved relative to the last dimension, with the last dimension
        corresponding to the value `-1`. By default, the function performs the
        operation over all dimensions.

    Returns
    -------
    out: ndarray
        Output ndarray.

    Examples
    --------
    > var x = {{alias:@stdlib/ndarray/array}}( [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ], [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ] )
    <ndarray>[ [ 1.0, 2.0 ], [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ]
    > var v = {{alias}}( x )
    <ndarray>[ 1.0 ]
    > v = {{alias}}( x, { 'dims': [ -1 ] } )
    <ndarray>[ 1.0, 3.0 ]
    > v = {{alias}}( x, { 'dims': [ -2 ] } )
    <ndarray>[ 1.0, 2.0 ]
