/**
* Groups values according to an indicator function and outputs results according to element indices.
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   Checking for an "own" property is necessary to guard against the edge case where an indicator function returns a group identifier which matches a method or property on the `Object` prototype.
*
* @private
* @param {Collection} collection - collection to group
* @param {Options} opts - function options
* @param {*} [opts.thisArg] - execution context
* @param {Function} indicator - indicator function specifying which group an element in the input collection belongs to
* @returns {Object} group results
*
* @example
* function indicator( v ) {
*     return v[ 0 ];
* }
* var arr = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar' ];
*
* var out = groupBy( arr, {}, indicator );
* // returns { 'b': [ 0, 1, 3 ], 'f': [ 2 ] }
