Research direction

Start by reproducing the Julia example with SparseArrays and OffsetArrays: Origin(0)(svec) .- Origin(0)(svec). Inspect the broadcast handling for offset sparse vectors. Done means the operation no longer raises "invalid Array size" and preserves the expected sparse-array result.
