### isint(obj, both=False) |

### isscalar(obj) |
Check for scalar types. Parameters: `obj` - The object (any `type`). Returns: `True` if obj is `scalar`, `False` otherwise.

### len2(seq) |
Make built-in function `len` work for generators, iterators, etc. since those can only be started exactly once. Parameters: `seq` - Generator, iterator, list, range, tuple, etc. Returns: 2-Tuple (number, ...) of items (`int`, `list` or `range` or `tuple`).

### map1(func, *args) |
Apply each argument to a single-argument function and return a tuple of results. Parameters: `func` - Function to apply (callable). `args` - Arguments to apply (any positional). Returns: Function results (`tuple`).

### map2(func, *args) |
Apply arguments to a function and return a tuple of results. Unlike Python 2's built-in `map`, Python 3+ `map` returns a `map` object, an iterator-like object which generates the results only once. Converting the `map` object to a tuple maintains Python 2 behavior. Parameters: `func` - Function to apply (callable). `args` - Arguments to apply (list, tuple, ...). Returns: N-Tuple of function results (`tuple`).

### scalar(value, low=2.22044604925e-16, high=1.0, name=`'``scalar``'`) |
Validate a scalar. Parameters: `value` - The value (`scalar`). `low` - Optional lower bound (`scalar`). `high` - Optional upper bound (`scalar`). `name` - Optional name of value (`str`). Returns: New value (`type` of low). Raises: `TypeError` - Non-scalar value. `ValueError` - Out-of-bounds value.

### sqrt3(x) |
