{{alias}}( arr, dtype )
    Converts an input array to an array of a different data type.

    The function supports the following data types:

    - float32: single-precision floating-point numbers.
    - float64: double-precision floating-point numbers.
    - generic: values of any type.
    - int16: signed 16-bit integers.
    - int32: signed 32-bit integers.
    - int8: signed 8-bit integers.
    - uint16: unsigned 16-bit integers.
    - uint32: unsigned 32-bit integers.
    - uint8: unsigned 8-bit integers.
    - uint8c: unsigned clamped 8-bit integers.

    Parameters
    ----------
    arr: Array|TypedArray
        Array to convert.

    dtype: string
        Output data type.

    Returns
    -------
    out: Array|TypedArray
        Output array.

    Examples
    --------
    > var arr = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ];
    > var out = {{alias}}( arr, 'float32' )
    <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ]
