Returns a new array containing each element in self that is eql? to at least one element in each of the given other_arrays; duplicates are omitted:
Example
[0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3].intersection([0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 3]) # => [0, 1]
Each element must correctly implement method hash.
Order from self is preserved:
Example
[0, 1, 2].intersection([2, 1, 0]) # => [0, 1, 2]
Returns a copy of self if no arguments are given.
