Description

For example:

julia> using FillArrays: RectDiagonal

julia> d = RectDiagonal(randn(4))
4×4 RectDiagonal{Float64, Vector{Float64}, Tuple{Base.OneTo{Int64}, Base.OneTo{Int64}}}:
 -2.47027   ⋅          ⋅        ⋅ 
   ⋅       0.139025    ⋅        ⋅

   ⋅        ⋅          ⋅       0.41858

julia> permutedims(d, (2, 1))

Research direction

Reproduce the Julia example with RectDiagonal and permutedims(d, (2, 1)), then trace the permutedims behavior for RectDiagonal. Add a regression test for the demonstrated case and verify that the result remains a RectDiagonal with the same diagonal values rather than a Matrix.
