   * Count the number of elements of a (multi)set. When a second parameter is 'true', count only the unique values.
   * A multi-dimension array will be converted to a single-dimension array before the operation.
   *
   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.setSize(set)
   *    math.setSize(set, unique)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *    math.setSize([1, 2, 2, 4])          // returns 4
   *    math.setSize([1, 2, 2, 4], true)    // returns 3
   *
   * See also:
   *
   *    setUnion, setIntersect, setDifference
   *
   * @param {Array | Matrix}    a  A multiset
   * @return {number}            The number of elements of the (multi)set
