:mrdocs:

Print onto the stream supplied at construction the sequence of characters designating the start of an array. Optionally specify `formatAsEmptyArrayFlag` denoting if the array being opened should be formatted as an empty array. If `formatAsEmptyArrayFlag` is not specified then the array being opened is formatted as an array having elements. Note that the formatting (and as a consequence the `formatAsEmptyArrayFlag`) is relevant only if this formatter encodes in the pretty style and is ignored otherwise.
