In addition to Lo-Dash methods, wrappers also have the following Array methods:
concat, join, pop, push, reverse, shift, slice, sort, splice, and unshift
Chaining is supported in custom builds as long as the value method is implicitly or explicitly included in the build.
The chainable wrapper functions are:
after, assign, bind, bindAll, bindKey, chain, compact, compose, concat, constant, countBy, create, createCallback, curry, debounce, defaults, defer, delay, difference, filter, flatten, forEach, forEachRight, forIn, forInRight, forOwn, forOwnRight, functions, groupBy, indexBy, initial, intersection, invert, invoke, keys, map, mapValues, matches, max, memoize, merge, min, noop, object, omit, once, pairs, partial, partialRight, pick, pluck, property, pull, push, range, reject, remove, rest, reverse, shuffle, slice, sort, sortBy, splice, tap, throttle, times, toArray, transform, union, uniq, unshift, unzip, values, where, without, wrap, xor, and zip
The non-chainable wrapper functions are:
capitalize, clone, cloneDeep, contains, escape, every, find, findIndex, findKey, findLast, findLastIndex, findLastKey, has, identity, indexOf, isArguments, isArray, isBoolean, isDate, isElement, isEmpty, isEqual, isFinite, isFunction, isNaN, isNull, isNumber, isObject, isPlainObject, isRegExp, isString, isUndefined, join, lastIndexOf, mixin, noConflict, now, parseInt, pop, random, reduce, reduceRight, result, shift, size, some, sortedIndex, runInContext, template, trim, trimLeft, trimRight, unescape, uniqueId, and value
The wrapper functions first, last, and sample return wrapped values when n is provided, otherwise they return unwrapped values.
Explicit chaining can be enabled by using the _.chain method.

(string): The semantic version number.
(Object): An object used to flag environments features.
(boolean): Detect if an arguments object's [[Class]] is resolvable (all but Firefox < 4, IE < 9).
(boolean): Detect if arguments objects are Object objects (all but Narwhal and Opera < 10.5).
(boolean): Detect if name or message properties of Error.prototype are enumerable by default. (IE < 9, Safari < 5.1)
(boolean): Detect if prototype properties are enumerable by default.
Firefox < 3.6, Opera > 9.50 - Opera < 11.60, and Safari < 5.1 (if the prototype or a property on the prototype has been set) incorrectly sets a function's prototype property [[Enumerable]] value to true.
(boolean): Detect if functions can be decompiled by Function#toString (all but PS3 and older Opera mobile browsers & avoided in Windows 8 apps).
(boolean): Detect if Function#name is supported (all but IE).
(boolean): Detect if arguments object indexes are non-enumerable (Firefox < 4, IE < 9, PhantomJS, Safari < 5.1).
(boolean): Detect if properties shadowing those on Object.prototype are non-enumerable.
In IE < 9 an objects own properties, shadowing non-enumerable ones, are made non-enumerable as well (a.k.a the JScript [[DontEnum]] bug).
(boolean): Detect if own properties are iterated after inherited properties (all but IE < 9).
(boolean): Detect if Array#shift and Array#splice augment array-like objects correctly.
Firefox < 10, IE compatibility mode, and IE < 9 have buggy Array shift() and splice() functions that fail to remove the last element, value[0], of array-like objects even though the length property is set to 0. The shift() method is buggy in IE 8 compatibility mode, while splice() is buggy regardless of mode in IE < 9 and buggy in compatibility mode in IE 9.
(boolean): Detect lack of support for accessing string characters by index.
IE < 8 can't access characters by index and IE 8 can only access characters by index on string literals.
(Object): By default, the template delimiters used by Lo-Dash are similar to those in embedded Ruby (ERB). Change the following template settings to use alternative delimiters.
(RegExp): Used to detect data property values to be HTML-escaped.
(RegExp): Used to detect code to be evaluated.
(RegExp): Used to detect data property values to inject.
(string): Used to reference the data object in the template text.
(Object): Used to import variables into the compiled template.
