         * unset. This format was chosen because it's also how you would

         *
         * It all works by keeping a reference to the current depth of the array,
         * iterating over key_parts (see splitKeyName), checking if the iterated
         * value exists as a key of the current reference and then setting the
         * current reference to be that key. If it's the last element of the
         * iteration then this value needs to be filtered and is removed.

Applies the current filters to the passed in array, unsetting any
elements which match the filter. Note that this works via reference and
will mutate its argument instead of returning a copy.
