 *  "row_len" [ DATA, OPTIONAL ] - if omitted, "val" will be
 *  issued once and the resultant row-length will be the length
 *  of "val". otherwise, "val" will be repeated and/or truncated
 *  as necessary to produce a row-length equal to that of input.
 *
 * USAGE:
 *  to echo a single constant value

 *  "dval" [ DATA, OPTIONAL ] - data value, either passed through
 *  or used to determine a repeat count of "cval" ( see below )

 *  passed through depending upon the existence of "predicate"

 *  translate input elements

 *  "B" [ TYPE ] - output data type, e.g. "ascii" or "U8"

 *
 *  "to" [ CONST ] - set of mapped values,
 *  where length ( from ) === length ( to )
 *
 *  "in" [ DATA ] - input data to be matched against keys
 *  in "from". also serves as source data when "src" is omitted
 *
 *  "src" [ DATA, OPTIONAL ] - source data to be edited by
 *  substituting "to" values when corresponding "in" value
 *  matches key in "from". if omitted, "in" is used.
 *
 * USAGE:
 *  to upper case letters from a given alphabet
