* Filter an array of objects.

* You can pass in one or more properties on which to filter.

* If the key of an array is an array, then it will filtered down to that
* level of node.

* Example usages:
* <code>
* ofilter($items, 'size'); // filter anything that has value in the 'size' property
* ofilter($items, ['size' => 3, 'name']); // filter anything that has the size property === 3 and a 'name' property with value
* ofilter($items, ['size', ['user', 'forename' => 'Bob'], ['user', 'age' => 30]) // filter w/ size, have the forename value of 'Bob' on the user object of and age of 30
* ofilter($items, ['size' => function($prop) { return ($prop > 18 && $prop < 50); }]);
