/*@
Ox.api <f> Turns an array into a list API
    `Ox.api` takes an array and returns a function that allows you to run
    complex queries against it. See the examples below for details.
    items <[o]> An array of objects (key/value stores)
    options <o> API Options
        cache <b|false> If true, cache results
        enums <o> Enumerables, for example `{size: ['S', 'M', 'L']}`
        geo <b|false> If true, return combined area with totals
        map <o> Sort map, for example `{name: function(v, o) { return o.sortName; }}`
        sort <[o]|[s]> Default sort, for example `['+name', '-age']`
        sums <[s]> List of keys to be included in totals
        unique <s|'id'> The name of the unique key
    (items, options) -> <f> List API
        (options) -> <o> Results
        (options, callback) -> <o> Results
            area <o> Combined area
                Present if `keys` was undefined and the `geo` option was set
                east <n> Longitude
                north <n> Latitude
                south <n> Latitude
                west <n> Longitude
            items <n|[o]> Number of items or array of items
                Present if `positions` was not passed. Number if `keys` was
                undefined, otherwise array
            positions <o> Position (value) for each id (key)
                Present if `positions` was passed
            * <n> Sum of the values of any key specified in `sums`
                Present if `keys` was undefined
        options <o> Request options
            keys <[s]> Array of keys to be returned, or empty array for all keys
                Leaving `keys` undefined returns totals, not items
            positions <[s]> Array of ids
                Passing `positions` returns positions, not items
            query <o> Query object
                conditions <[o]> Array of condition objects and/or query objects
                    Passing a query object instead of a condition object inserts
                    a subcondition
                    key <s> Key
                    operator <s> Operator, like `'='` or `'!='`
                        Can be `'='` (contains) `'=='` (is), `'^'` (starts
                        with), `'$'` (ends with), `'<'`, `'<='`,  `'>'`, `'>='`,
                        optionally prefixed with `'!'` (not)
                    value <*> Value
                operator <s> `'&'` or `'|'`
            range <[n]> Range of results, like `[100, 200]`
            sort <[s]> Array of sort strings, like `['+name', '-age']`
        callback <f> Callback function
            results <o> Results
