 ## Usage
 
 ```javascript
 var bifurcateByAsync = require( '@stdlib/utils/async/bifurcate-by' );
 ```
 
 #### bifurcateByAsync( collection, \[options,] predicate, done )
 
 Splits values into two groups according to a `predicate` function, which specifies which group an element in the input `collection` belongs to. If a `predicate` function calls a provided callback with a truthy group value, a collection element belongs to the first group; otherwise, a collection element belongs to the second group.
 
 ```javascript
 function predicate( value, next ) {
     setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
     function onTimeout() {
         console.log( value );
         next( null, (value > 2000) );
     }
 }
 
 function done( error, result ) {
     if ( error ) {
         throw error;
     }
     console.log( result );
 }
 
 var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
 
 bifurcateByAsync( arr, predicate, done );
 /* =>
     1000
     2500
     3000
     [ [ 2500, 3000 ], [ 1000 ] ]
 */
 ```
 
 The function accepts the following `options`:
 
 -   `limit`: the maximum number of pending invocations at any one time. Default: `infinity`.
 -   `series`: `boolean` indicating whether to sequentially invoke the `predicate` function for each `collection` element. If `true`, the function sets `options.limit=1`. Default: `false`.
 -   `returns`: specifies the output format. If the option equals `'values'`, the function returns group results as element values. If the option equals `'indices'`, the function returns group results as element indices. If the option equals `'*'`, the function returns group results as both element indices and values. Default: `'values'`.
 -   `thisArg`: the execution context for `predicate`.
 
 By default, the function returns group results as element values. To return element indices, set the `returns` option to `'indices'`.
 
 ```javascript
 function predicate( value, next ) {
     setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
     function onTimeout() {
         console.log( value );
         next( null, (value > 2000) );
     }
 }
 
 function done( error, result ) {
     if ( error ) {
         throw error;
     }
     console.log( result );
 }
 
 var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
 
 var opts = {
     'returns': 'indices'
 };
 bifurcateByAsync( arr, opts, predicate, done );
 /* =>
     1000
     2500
     3000
     [ [ 1, 0 ], [ 2 ] ]
 */
 ```
 
 To return index-value pairs, set the `returns` option to `'*'`.
 
 ```javascript
 function predicate( value, next ) {
     setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
     function onTimeout() {
         console.log( value );
         next( null, (value > 2000) );
     }
 }
 
 function done( error, result ) {
     if ( error ) {
         throw error;
     }
     console.log( result );
 }
 
 var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
 
 var opts = {
     'returns': '*'
 };
 bifurcateByAsync( arr, opts, predicate, done );
 /* =>
     1000
     2500
     3000
     [ [ [ 1, 2500 ], [ 0, 3000 ] ], [ [ 2, 1000 ] ] ]
 */
 ```
 
 By default, all elements are processed concurrently, which means that the function does **not** guarantee completion order. To process each `collection` element sequentially, set the `series` option to `true`.
 
 ```javascript
 function predicate( value, next ) {
     setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
     function onTimeout() {
         console.log( value );
         next( null, (value > 2000) );
     }
 }
 
 function done( error, result ) {
     if ( error ) {
         throw error;
     }
     console.log( result );
 }
 
 var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
 
 var opts = {
     'series': true
 };
 
 bifurcateByAsync( arr, opts, predicate, done );
 /* =>
     3000
     2500
     1000
     [ [ 3000, 2500 ], [ 1000 ] ]
 */
 ```
 
 To limit the maximum number of pending function invocations, set the `limit` option.
 
 ```javascript
 function predicate( value, next ) {
     setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
     function onTimeout() {
         console.log( value );
         next( null, (value > 2000) );
     }
 }
 
 function done( error, result ) {
     if ( error ) {
         throw error;
     }
     console.log( result );
 }
 
 var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
 
 var opts = {
     'limit': 2
 };
 
 bifurcateByAsync( arr, opts, predicate, done );
 /* =>
     2500
     3000
     1000
     [ [ 2500, 3000 ], [ 1000 ] ]
 */
 ```
 
 To set the execution context of the `predicate` function, set the `thisArg` option.
 
 ```javascript
 function predicate( value, next ) {
     this.count += 1;
     setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
     function onTimeout() {
         next( null, (value > 2000) );
     }
 }
 
 var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
 
 var context = {
     'count': 0
 };
 
 var opts = {
     'thisArg': context
 };
 
 bifurcateByAsync( arr, opts, predicate, done );
 
 function done( error, result ) {
     if ( error ) {
         throw error;
     }
     console.log( result );
     // => [ [ 2500, 3000 ], [ 1000 ] ]
 
     console.log( context.count );
     // => 3
 }
 ```
 
 When invoked, the `predicate` function is provided a maximum of four arguments:
 
 -   `value`: collection value.
 -   `index`: collection index.
 -   `collection`: the input `collection`.
 -   `next`: a callback which should be called once the `predicate` function has finished processing a collection `value`.
 
 The actual number of provided arguments depends on function `length`. If the `predicate` function accepts two arguments, the `predicate` function is provided `value` and `next`. If the `predicate` function accepts three arguments, the `predicate` function is provided `value`, `index`, and `next`. For every other `predicate` function signature, the `predicate` function is provided all four arguments.
 
 ```javascript
 function predicate( value, i, collection, next ) {
     console.log( 'collection: %s. %d: %d', collection.join( ',' ), i, value );
     setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
     function onTimeout() {
         console.log( value );
         next( null, (value > 2000) );
     }
 }
 
 function done( error, result ) {
     if ( error ) {
         throw error;
     }
     console.log( result );
 }
 
 var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
 
 bifurcateByAsync( arr, predicate, done );
 /* =>
     collection: 3000,2500,1000. 0: 3000
     collection: 3000,2500,1000. 1: 2500
     collection: 3000,2500,1000. 2: 1000
     1000
     2500
     3000
     [ [ 2500, 3000 ], [ 1000 ] ]
 */
 ```
 
 #### bifurcateByAsync.factory( \[options,] predicate )
 
 Returns a `function` which invokes a `predicate` function once for each element in a `collection`.
 
 ```javascript
 function predicate( value, next ) {
     setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
     function onTimeout() {
         console.log( value );
         next( null, (value > 2000) );
     }
 }
 
 function done( error, result ) {
     if ( error ) {
         throw error;
     }
     console.log( result );
 }
 
 var f = bifurcateByAsync.factory( predicate );
 
 var arr1 = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
 
 f( arr1, done );
 /* =>
     1000
     2500
     3000
     [ [ 2500, 3000 ], [ 1000 ] ]
 */
 
 var arr2 = [ 300, 250, 100 ];
 
 f( arr2, done );
 /* =>
     100
     250
     300
     [ [], [ 100, 250, 300 ] ]
 */
 ```
 
 The function accepts the same `options` as `bifurcateByAsync()`.

 ## Notes
 
 -   A `collection` may be either an [`Array`][mdn-array], [`Typed Array`][mdn-typed-array], or an array-like [`Object`][mdn-object] (excluding `strings` and `functions`).
 -   If a provided function calls the `next` callback with a truthy `error` argument, the function suspends execution and immediately calls the `done` callback for subsequent `error` handling.
 -   The function does **not** support dynamic `collection` resizing.
 -   The function does **not** skip `undefined` elements.
 -   If provided an empty `collection`, the function calls the `done` callback with an empty `array` for the group results.
 -   **Neither** `bifurcateByAsync` nor the function returned by the `factory` method **guarantee** asynchronous execution. To guarantee asynchrony, wrap the `done` callback in a function which either executes at the end of the current stack (e.g., `nextTick`) or during a subsequent turn of the event loop (e.g., `setImmediate`, `setTimeout`).
