/**
* Returns a new array containing the first `count` elements from the input array `arr`.
* If `count` is greater than the length of `arr`, the entire array is returned.
*
* @template T - Type of elements in the input array.
*
* @param {T[]} arr - The array to take elements from.
* @param {number} count - The number of elements to take.
* @param {unknown} guard - If truthy, ignores `count` and defaults to 1.
* @returns {T[]} A new array containing the first `count` elements from `arr`.
*
* @example
* // Returns [1, 2, 3]
* take([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 3);
*
* @example
* // Returns ['a', 'b']
* take(['a', 'b', 'c'], 2);
*
* @example
* // Returns [1, 2, 3]
* take([1, 2, 3], 5);
*
* @example
* // Returns [[1], [1], [1]]
* const arr = [1, 2, 3];
* const result = arr.map((v, i, array) => take(array, i, true));
