/**
 * Changes the structure of the pattern to form an euclidean rhythm.
 * Euclidian rhythms are rhythms obtained using the greatest common
 * divisor of two numbers.  They were described in 2004 by Godfried
 * Toussaint, a canadian computer scientist.  Euclidian rhythms are
 * really useful for computer/algorithmic music because they can
 * describe a large number of rhythms with a couple of numbers.
 *
 * @memberof Pattern
 * @name euclid
 * @param {number} pulses the number of onsets / beats
 * @param {number} steps the number of steps to fill
 * @returns Pattern
 * @example
 * // The Cuban tresillo pattern.
