   * Compute the argument of a complex value.
   * For a complex number `a + bi`, the argument is computed as `atan2(b, a)`.
   *
   * For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.
   *
   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.arg(x)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *    var a = math.complex(2, 2);
   *    math.arg(a) / math.pi;          // returns number 0.25
   *
   *    var b = math.complex('2 + 3i');
   *    math.arg(b);                    // returns number 0.982793723247329
   *    math.atan2(3, 2);               // returns number 0.982793723247329
