Description

The following statement

_.chunk(["one","two","three","four","five","six","seven","eight","nine","ten","eleven","twelve"],3,"-")

returns an array with 5 arrays, where the last one contains one item with the padding ("-"). This is obviously incorrect.

Research direction

Start by running the provided _.chunk expression and locate the implementation of _.chunk in the repository. Verify the behavior for an input whose length is divisible by three, then check the related tests if present; done means the expression returns four three-item arrays without an extra padded item.
