; Name...........: _VarDump
; Description ...: This function returns information about a variable. Does not reset @error or @extended.
; Syntax.........: _VarDump(ByRef Const $vVar, $vDumpType = Default)
; Parameters ....: $vVar         - The variable to analyze.
;                  $vDumpType    - How to display the information. See Notes for keywords.
; Return values .: String: Information about the variable. This is returned regardless of the $vDumpType parameter.
; Author ........: Rob Saunders (rksaunders (at) gmail (dot) com)
; Remarks .......: $vVar is passed by reference. If you want to pass an expression use the wrapper function provided: _ExprDump()
;                  Use one of the following keywords for the $vDumpType parameter:
;                      1, ConsoleWrite, Console, CW    = ConsoleWrite()

;                      5, GUI, Window, Text            = Display in an edit control in a GUI window created on the fly
;                  You can add an asterisk "*" to the keyword to also return @ScriptLineNumber, @error, and @extended values. ie: "cw*"

        ; The reason this FOR loop goes backwards is because it's stepping through the last dimension first and working it's way back.
        ; Just like when you increase a number, you increment the right-most digit first, ie: the "one's place".
        ; So for example, if we have an array of [X][X][X] - it starts with the third dimension [ ][ ][X] and steps through it one at a time,
        ; like this: [0][0][0], [0][0][1], [0][0][2], etc. If the index hasn't hit the dimension's ubound then the FOR loop exits, so all that
        ; gets incremented is that one dimension index. However, if it has met or exceeded that dimension's ubound, then it resets it to 0 and
        ; the FOR loop gets to continue to the next dimension up (ie: [ ][X][ ]), and now we get [0][1][0], [0][1][1], [0][1][2], etc.
