Description
I was thinking that often when takie atindex windows one can easily go out of bounds of the original Array (when one index is near the boundary). I was wondering whether it'd make sense to have "softer" atindex that returns arrays of eltype Union{T, Missing} and simply gives missing for the out of bound part.

Research direction
Start by locating the atindex implementation and its current out-of-bounds behavior. Clarify the proposed API for missing-padded windows and define tests covering the returned Union{T, Missing} arrays and boundary cases before implementing.
