+// Create a new ndarray:
+var arr = ndarray( 'generic', buffer, shape, strides, offset, order );

+// Serialize to a locale-specific string:
+var str = arr.toLocaleString( 'en-US' );
+// returns "ndarray( 'generic', [ 1,234.567, 9,876.543, 1,111.222, 3,333.444 ], [ 2, 2 ], [ 2, 1 ], 0, 'row-major' )"

+-   **locales**: a string with a BCP 47 language tag or an array of such strings.
+-   **options**: configuration properties.

+The method does **not** serialize data outside of the buffer region defined by the array configuration.
