   * Wrap any value in a chain, allowing to perform chained operations on
   * the value.
   *
   * All methods available in the math.js library can be called upon the chain,
   * and then will be evaluated with the value itself as first argument.
   * The chain can be closed by executing `chain.done()`, which returns
   * the final value.
   *
   * The chain has a number of special functions:
   *
   * - `done()`     Finalize the chain and return the chain's value.
   * - `valueOf()`  The same as `done()`
   * - `toString()` Executes `math.format()` onto the chain's value, returning
   *                a string representation of the value.
   *
   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.chain(value)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *     math.chain(3)
   *         .add(4)
   *         .subtract(2)
   *         .done();     // 5
   *
   *     math.chain( [[1, 2], [3, 4]] )
   *         .subset(math.index(0, 0), 8)
   *         .multiply(3)
   *         .done();     // [[24, 6], [9, 12]]
   *
   * @param {*} [value]   A value of any type on which to start a chained operation.
   * @return {math.type.Chain} The created chain
