fill_like(x, val, [element_type=eltype(x)], [dims=size(x)]))

Create an array with the given element type and size, based upon the given source array x. All element of the new array will be set to val. The third and fourth arguments are both optional, defaulting to the given array's eltype and size. The dimensions may be specified as an integer or as a tuple argument.
