/**
 * Takes an array of Game Objects and then modifies their `property` so the value equals, or is incremented, by the
 * calculated spread value.
 * 
 * The spread value is derived from the given `min` and `max` values and the total number of items in the array.
 * 
 * For example, to cause an array of Sprites to change in alpha from 0 to 1 you could call:
 * 
 * ```javascript
 * Phaser.Actions.Spread(itemsArray, 'alpha', 0, 1);
 * ```
 *
 * @function Phaser.Actions.Spread
 * @since 3.0.0
 *
 * @generic {Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject[]} G - [items,$return]
 *
 * @param {(array|Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject[])} items - An array of Game Objects. The contents of this array are updated by this Action.
 * @param {string} property - The property of the Game Object to spread.
 * @param {number} min - The minimum value.
 * @param {number} max - The maximum value.
 * @param {boolean} [inc=false] - Should the values be incremented? `true` or set (`false`)
 *
 * @return {(array|Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject[])} The array of Game Objects that were passed to this Action.
