    Args:
        array: Array-like data (anything #ak.to_layout recognizes).
        axis (int or None): The dimension at which this operation is applied.
            The outermost dimension is `0`, followed by `1`, etc., and negative
            values count backward from the innermost: `-1` is the innermost
            dimension, `-2` is the next level up, etc. If None, convert all
            regular dimensions into variable ones.
        highlevel (bool): If True, return an #ak.Array; otherwise, return
            a low-level #ak.contents.Content subclass.
        behavior (None or dict): Custom #ak.behavior for the output array, if
            high-level.

    Converts a regular axis into an irregular one.
