        /**
        Applies a schema to an array of data, returning a normalized object
        with results in the `results` property. The `meta` property of the
        response object is present for consistency, but is assigned an empty
        object.  If the input data is absent or not an array, an `error`
        property will be added.

        The input array is expected to contain objects, arrays, or strings.

        If _schema_ is not specified or _schema.resultFields_ is not an array,
        `response.results` will be assigned the input array unchanged.

        When a _schema_ is specified, the following will occur:

        If the input array contains strings, they will be copied as-is into the
        `response.results` array.

        If the input array contains arrays, `response.results` will contain an
        array of objects with key:value pairs assuming the fields in
        _schema.resultFields_ are ordered in accordance with the data array
        values.

        If the input array contains objects, the identified
        _schema.resultFields_ will be used to extract a value from those
        objects for the output result.

        _schema.resultFields_ field identifiers are objects with the following properties:

          * `key`   : <strong>(required)</strong> The locator name (String)
          * `parser`: A function or the name of a function on `Y.Parsers` used
                to convert the input value into a normalized type.  Parser
                functions are passed the value as input and are expected to
                return a value.

        If no value parsing is needed, you can use strings as identifiers
        instead of objects (see example below).

        @example
            // Process array of arrays
            var schema = { resultFields: [ 'fruit', 'color' ] },
                data = [
                    [ 'Banana', 'yellow' ],
                    [ 'Orange', 'orange' ],
                    [ 'Eggplant', 'purple' ]
                ];

            var response = Y.DataSchema.Array.apply(schema, data);

            // response.results[0] is { fruit: "Banana", color: "yellow" }

            
            // Process array of objects
            data = [
                { fruit: 'Banana', color: 'yellow', price: '1.96' },
                { fruit: 'Orange', color: 'orange', price: '2.04' },
                { fruit: 'Eggplant', color: 'purple', price: '4.31' }
            ];

            response = Y.DataSchema.Array.apply(schema, data);

            // response.results[0] is { fruit: "Banana", color: "yellow" }


            // Use parsers
            schema.resultFields = [
                {
                    key: 'fruit',
                    parser: function (val) { return val.toUpperCase(); }
                },
                {
                    key: 'price',
                    parser: 'number' // Uses Y.Parsers.number
                }
            ];

            response = Y.DataSchema.Array.apply(schema, data);
