+ Notes
+ -----
+ Warning: This functionality does **not** consider axes separately,
+ i.e. it does not apply interpolation/extrapolation of some sort.
+ It simply takes the first `np.prod(new_shape)` elements of `a`,
+ disregarding axes, and fills the returned array with these elements.
+ (This is in case the new shape is smaller. For larger, see above.)
+ This functionality is therefor not suitable to resize images,
+ or data where each axis represents a separate and distinct entity.

Examples
--------
>>> a=np.array([[0,1],[2,3]])
