/**
 * @file
 * @brief Implementation for the [Array Left
 * Rotation](https://www.javatpoint.com/program-to-left-rotate-the-elements-of-an-array)
 * algorithm.
 * @details Shifting an array to the left involves moving each element of the
 * array so that it occupies a position of a certain shift value before its
 * current one. This implementation uses a result vector and does not mutate the
 * input.
