{{alias}}( collection, [options,] groups )
Groups values as arrays associated with distinct keys.
If provided an empty collection, the function returns an empty object.
Parameters
----------
collection: Array|TypedArray|Object
Input collection to group. If provided an object, the object must be
array-like (excluding strings and functions).
options: Object (optional)
Options.
options.returns: string (optional)
If `values`, values are returned; if `indices`, indices are returned; if
`*`, both indices and values are returned. Default: 'values'.
groups: Array|TypedArray|Object
A collection defining which group an element in the input collection
belongs to. Each value in `groups` should resolve to a value which can
be serialized as an object key. If provided an object, the object must
be array-like (excluding strings and functions).
Returns
-------
out: Object
Group results.
Examples
--------
> var collection = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar' ];
> var groups = [ 'b', 'b', 'f', 'b' ];
> var out = {{alias}}( collection, groups )
{ 'b': [ 'beep', 'boop', 'bar' ], 'f': [ 'foo' ] }
> groups = [ 1, 1, 2, 1 ];
> out = {{alias}}( collection, groups )
{ '1': [ 'beep', 'boop', 'bar' ], '2': [ 'foo' ] }
// Output group results as indices:
> groups = [ 'b', 'b', 'f', 'b' ];
> var opts = { 'returns': 'indices' };
> out = {{alias}}( collection, opts, groups )
{ 'b': [ 0, 1, 3 ], 'f': [ 2 ] }
// Output group results as index-element pairs:
> opts = { 'returns': '*' };
> out = {{alias}}( collection, opts, groups )
{ 'b': [ [0, 'beep'], [1, 'boop'], [3, 'bar'] ], 'f': [ [2, 'foo'] ] }
