+Returns a function for converting an array to an object supporting fancy indexing.
+
+```javascript
+var fcn = array2fancy.factory();
+
+var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
+
+var y = fcn( x );

+-   **strict**: boolean indicating whether to enforce strict bounds checking by default. Default: `false`.
+-   **cache**: cache for resolving array index objects. Default: [`ArrayIndex`][@stdlib/array/index].
+
+By default, the function returns a function which, by default, does **not** enforce strict bounds checking. For example,
+
+```javascript
+var fcn = array2fancy.factory();
+
+var y = fcn( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] );
+
+var v = y[ 10 ];
+// returns undefined
+```
+
+To enforce strict bounds checking by default, set the `strict` option to `true`.
+
+<!-- run throws: true -->
+
+```javascript
+var fcn = array2fancy.factory({
+    'strict': true
+});
+var y = fcn( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] );
+
+var v = y[ 10 ];
+// throws <RangeError>
+```
+
+The returned function supports the same options as above. When the returned function is provided option values, those values override the factory method defaults.

 ## Notes
 
 -   A fancy array shares the **same** data as the provided input array. Hence, any mutations to the returned array will affect the underlying input array and vice versa.
