Description

From https://github.com/cscherrer/MeasureBase.jl/issues/16:

DomainSets currently depends on StaticArrays, which is a heavy dependency for a core library like this. Would it be possible to refactor DomainSets somewhat to use Static.jl instead, possibly with an optional StaticArrays dependency? Or maybe there's a better approach?

Research direction

Review how DomainSets currently depends on StaticArrays, then compare the requested Static.jl approach and the possibility of making StaticArrays optional. Done means the package's dependency strategy has been refactored according to a settled approach, with core functionality still working without an unnecessary heavy dependency.
