   * Create the difference of two (multi)sets: every element of set1, that is not the element of set2.
   * Multi-dimension arrays will be converted to single-dimension arrays before the operation.
   *
   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.setDifference(set1, set2)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *    math.setDifference([1, 2, 3, 4], [3, 4, 5, 6])            // returns [1, 2]
   *    math.setDifference([[1, 2], [3, 4]], [[3, 4], [5, 6]])    // returns [1, 2]
   *

   *

   *
   * @param {Array | Matrix}    a1  A (multi)set
   * @param {Array | Matrix}    a2  A (multi)set
   * @return {Array | Matrix}    The difference of two (multi)sets
