/**
* Creates a typed array.
*
* @param {(NonNegativeInteger|TypedArray|ArrayLikeObject|ArrayBuffer)} [arg] - a length, typed array, array-like object, or buffer
* @param {NonNegativeInteger} [byteOffset=0] - byte offset
* @param {NonNegativeInteger} [length] - view length
* @param {string} [dtype="float64"] - data type
* @throws {TypeError} must provide a recognized data type
* @returns {TypedArray} typed array
*
* @example
* var arr = realarray();
* // returns <Float64Array>
*
* @example
* var arr = realarray( 2 );
* // returns <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0 ]
*
* @example
* var arr = realarray( 2, 'float32' );
* // returns <Float32Array>[ 0.0, 0.0 ]
*
* @example
* var arr = realarray( [ 0.5, 0.5 ] );
* // returns <Float64Array>[ 0.5, 0.5 ]
*
* @example
* var arr = realarray( [ 5, -3 ], 'int32' );
* // returns <Int32Array>[ 5, -3 ]
*
* @example
* var arr1 = realarray( [ 5, 3 ], 'int32' );
* var arr2 = realarray( arr1 );
* // returns <Float64Array>[ 5.0, 3.0 ]
*
* @example
* var arr1 = realarray( [ 5, 3 ], 'int32' );
* var arr2 = realarray( arr1, 'uint32' );
* // returns <Uint32Array>[ 5, 3 ]

* var buf = new ArrayBuffer( 16 );
* var arr = realarray( buf, 'float32' );
