{{alias}}( arr, shape )
    Broadcasts an ndarray to a specified shape 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, the
    function returns the provided ndarray.

    If a provided ndarray has a different (broadcast compatible) shape than the
    specified shape, the function returns a new (base) ndarray view of the
    provided ndarray's data. 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 view may affect multiple elements. If you need to write to
    the returned array, copy the array before performing operations which may
    mutate elements.

    A returned array view is a "base" ndarray, and, thus, a returned array view
    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.

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

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