>>> import arr
>>> from numpy import asfortranarray
>>> print(arr.foo.__doc__)
a = foo(a,[overwrite_a])

Wrapper for ``foo``.

Parameters
----------
a : input rank-2 array('d') with bounds (n,m)

Other Parameters
----------------
overwrite_a : input int, optional
    Default: 0

Returns
-------
a : rank-2 array('d') with bounds (n,m)

>>> a = arr.foo([[1, 2, 3],
...              [4, 5, 6]])
created an array from object
>>> print(a)
[[ 1.  3.  4.]
 [ 3.  5.  6.]]
>>> a.flags.c_contiguous
False
>>> a.flags.f_contiguous
True
# even if a is proper-contiguous and has proper type,
# a copy is made forced by intent(copy) attribute
# to preserve its original contents
>>> b = arr.foo(a)
copied an array: size=6, elsize=8
>>> print(a)
[[ 1.  3.  4.]
 [ 3.  5.  6.]]
>>> print(b)
[[ 1.  4.  5.]
 [ 2.  5.  6.]]
>>> b = arr.foo(a, overwrite_a = 1) # a is passed directly to Fortran
...                                 # routine and its contents is discarded

>>> print(a)
[[ 1.  4.  5.]
 [ 2.  5.  6.]]
>>> print(b)
[[ 1.  4.  5.]
 [ 2.  5.  6.]]
>>> a is b                          # a and b are actually the same objects
True
>>> print(arr.foo([1, 2, 3]))       # different rank arrays are allowed
created an array from object
[ 1.  1.  2.]
>>> print(arr.foo([[[1], [2], [3]]]))
created an array from object
[[[ 1.]
  [ 1.]
  [ 2.]]]
