{{alias}}( [dtype1, dtype2] )
    Returns the ndarray data type with the smallest size and closest "kind" to
    which ndarray data types can be safely cast.

    If not provided data types, the function returns a type promotion table.

    If a data type to which data types can be safely cast does *not* exist (or
    is not supported), the function returns `-1`.

    If provided an unrecognized data type, the function returns `null`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    dtype1: any (optional)
        ndarray data type value.

    dtype2: any (optional)
        ndarray data type value.

    Returns
    -------
    out: Object|string|integer|null
        Promotion rule(s).

    Examples
    --------
    > var out = {{alias}}( 'float32', 'int32' )
    'float64'
