{{alias}}( arr, shape, dims )
    Broadcasts an ndarray to a specified shape while keeping a list of specified
    dimensions unchanged if and only if the specified shape differs from the
    provided ndarray's shape.

    If a provided ndarray has the same shape as the specified shape (excluding
    the list of specified dimensions), the function returns the provided
    ndarray.

    If a provided ndarray does not have the same shape as the specified shape
    (excluding the list of specified dimensions), the returned array is a "base"
    ndarray, and, thus, the returned array does not perform bounds checking or
    afford any of the guarantees of the non-base ndarray constructor. The
    primary intent of this function is to broadcast an ndarray-like object
    within internal implementations and to do so with minimal overhead.

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

    Parameters
    ----------
    arr: ndarray
        Input array.

    shape: ArrayLikeObject
        Desired shape.

    dims: Array<integer>
        List of dimensions to exclude from broadcasting. Should be a list of
        negative integers.

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

    Examples
    --------
    > var x = {{alias:@stdlib/ndarray/array}}( [ [ 1, 2, 3 ] ] )
    <ndarray>[ [ 1, 2, 3 ] ]
    > var y = {{alias}}( x, [ 2, 2, 3 ], [ -2 ] )
    <ndarray>[ [ [ 1, 2, 3 ] ], [ [ 1, 2, 3 ] ] ]
