        CartesianIndex(i, j, k...)   -> I
        CartesianIndex((i, j, k...)) -> I

    Create a multidimensional index `I`, which can be used for
    indexing a multidimensional array `A`.  In particular, `A[I]` is
    equivalent to `A[i,j,k...]`.  One can freely mix integer and
    `CartesianIndex` indices; for example, `A[Ipre, i, Ipost]` (where
    `Ipre` and `Ipost` are `CartesianIndex` indices and `i` is an
    `Int`) can be a useful expression when writing algorithms that
    work along a single dimension of an array of arbitrary
    dimensionality.

    A `CartesianIndex` is sometimes produced by [`eachindex`](@ref), and
    always when iterating with an explicit [`CartesianIndices`](@ref).

        CartesianIndices(sz::Dims) -> R
        CartesianIndices((istart:istop, jstart:jstop, ...)) -> R

    Define a region `R` spanning a multidimensional rectangular range
    of integer indices. These are most commonly encountered in the
    context of iteration, where `for I in R ... end` will return
    [`CartesianIndex`](@ref) indices `I` equivalent to the nested loops

        for j = jstart:jstop
            for i = istart:istop
                ...
            end
        end

    Consequently these can be useful for writing algorithms that
    work in arbitrary dimensions.

        CartesianIndices(A::AbstractArray) -> R

    As a convenience, constructing a `CartesianIndices` from an array makes a
    range of its indices.

    # Examples
    ```jldoctest
    julia> foreach(println, CartesianIndices((2, 2, 2)))
    CartesianIndex(1, 1, 1)
    CartesianIndex(2, 1, 1)
    CartesianIndex(1, 2, 1)
    CartesianIndex(2, 2, 1)
    CartesianIndex(1, 1, 2)
    CartesianIndex(2, 1, 2)
    CartesianIndex(1, 2, 2)
    CartesianIndex(2, 2, 2)

    julia> CartesianIndices(fill(1, (2,3)))
    2×3 CartesianIndices{2, Tuple{Base.OneTo{Int64}, Base.OneTo{Int64}}}:
     CartesianIndex(1, 1)  CartesianIndex(1, 2)  CartesianIndex(1, 3)
     CartesianIndex(2, 1)  CartesianIndex(2, 2)  CartesianIndex(2, 3)
    ```

    ## Conversion between linear and cartesian indices

    Linear index to cartesian index conversion exploits the fact that a
    `CartesianIndices` is an `AbstractArray` and can be indexed linearly:

    ```jldoctest
    julia> cartesian = CartesianIndices((1:3, 1:2))
    3×2 CartesianIndices{2, Tuple{UnitRange{Int64}, UnitRange{Int64}}}:
     CartesianIndex(1, 1)  CartesianIndex(1, 2)
     CartesianIndex(2, 1)  CartesianIndex(2, 2)
     CartesianIndex(3, 1)  CartesianIndex(3, 2)

    julia> cartesian[4]
    CartesianIndex(1, 2)
    ```

    ## Broadcasting

    `CartesianIndices` support broadcasting arithmetic (+ and -) with a `CartesianIndex`.

    !!! compat "Julia 1.1"
        Broadcasting of CartesianIndices requires at least Julia 1.1.

    ```jldoctest
    julia> CIs = CartesianIndices((2:3, 5:6))
    2×2 CartesianIndices{2, Tuple{UnitRange{Int64}, UnitRange{Int64}}}:
     CartesianIndex(2, 5)  CartesianIndex(2, 6)
     CartesianIndex(3, 5)  CartesianIndex(3, 6)

    julia> CI = CartesianIndex(3, 4)
    CartesianIndex(3, 4)

    julia> CIs .+ CI
    2×2 CartesianIndices{2, Tuple{UnitRange{Int64}, UnitRange{Int64}}}:
     CartesianIndex(5, 9)  CartesianIndex(5, 10)
     CartesianIndex(6, 9)  CartesianIndex(6, 10)
    ```

"""

Copy `src` to `dest`, indexing each dimension modulo its length.
`src` and `dest` must have the same size, but can be offset in
their indices; any offset results in a (circular) wraparound. If the
arrays have overlapping indices, then on the domain of the overlap
`dest` agrees with `src`.

## sortslices

"""
    sortslices(A; dims, alg::Algorithm=DEFAULT_UNSTABLE, lt=isless, by=identity, rev::Bool=false, order::Ordering=Forward)

Sort slices of an array `A`. The required keyword argument `dims` must
be either an integer or a tuple of integers. It specifies the
dimension(s) over which the slices are sorted.

E.g., if `A` is a matrix, `dims=1` will sort rows, `dims=2` will sort columns.
Note that the default comparison function on one dimensional slices sorts
lexicographically.

For the remaining keyword arguments, see the documentation of [`sort!`](@ref).

# Examples
```jldoctest
julia> sortslices([7 3 5; -1 6 4; 9 -2 8], dims=1) # Sort rows
3×3 Matrix{Int64}:
 -1   6  4
  7   3  5
  9  -2  8

julia> sortslices([7 3 5; -1 6 4; 9 -2 8], dims=1, lt=(x,y)->isless(x[2],y[2]))
3×3 Matrix{Int64}:
  9  -2  8
  7   3  5
 -1   6  4

julia> sortslices([7 3 5; -1 6 4; 9 -2 8], dims=1, rev=true)
3×3 Matrix{Int64}:
  9  -2  8
  7   3  5
 -1   6  4

julia> sortslices([7 3 5; 6 -1 -4; 9 -2 8], dims=2) # Sort columns
3×3 Matrix{Int64}:
  3   5  7
 -1  -4  6
 -2   8  9

julia> sortslices([7 3 5; 6 -1 -4; 9 -2 8], dims=2, alg=InsertionSort, lt=(x,y)->isless(x[2],y[2]))
3×3 Matrix{Int64}:
  5   3  7
 -4  -1  6
  8  -2  9

julia> sortslices([7 3 5; 6 -1 -4; 9 -2 8], dims=2, rev=true)
3×3 Matrix{Int64}:
 7   5   3

 9   8  -2
```

# Higher dimensions

`sortslices` extends naturally to higher dimensions. E.g., if `A` is a
a 2x2x2 array, `sortslices(A, dims=3)` will sort slices within the 3rd dimension,
passing the 2x2 slices `A[:, :, 1]` and `A[:, :, 2]` to the comparison function.
Note that while there is no default order on higher-dimensional slices, you may
use the `by` or `lt` keyword argument to specify such an order.

If `dims` is a tuple, the order of the dimensions in `dims` is
relevant and specifies the linear order of the slices. E.g., if `A` is three
dimensional and `dims` is `(1, 2)`, the orderings of the first two dimensions
are re-arranged such that the slices (of the remaining third dimension) are sorted.
If `dims` is `(2, 1)` instead, the same slices will be taken,
but the result order will be row-major instead.
