measure how much the obj is similar to the array object, there are three levels: 0, 1, 2:
0: return true iff obj has a valid length property, this is the default setting
1: return true iff obj has a valid length property and properties: [0, ..., length-1]
2: return true iff obj has and only has a valid length property and properties: [0, ..., length-1],strict array-like object
obj as such also called `
> a strict array-like object can be safely converted to array using Array.from method
