<para>
A multi-dimensional array or an array of objects from which to pull a
column of values from. If an array of objects is provided, then public
properties can be directly pulled. In order for protected or private
properties to be pulled, the class must implement both the
<function>__get</function> and <function>__isset</function> magic
methods.

<para>
The column of values to return. This value may be an integer key of the
column you wish to retrieve, or it may be a string key name for an
associative array or property name. It may also be &null; to return
complete arrays or objects (this is useful together with
<parameter>index_key</parameter> to reindex the array).
