Description
It would be convenient to have a StructArray constructor based on an existing struct, for example:
structarray = StructArray(struct)
where struct is any struct. Any non-numerical fields would be ignored and not added to the new struct.
Application could be in various types of data storage, for example in simulations, where a struct contains all the information of some object, while StructArray constructor prepares the numerical fields for efficient numerical operations.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing StructArray constructor entry points and reviewing how they handle struct fields. Define the behavior for StructArray(struct), including ignoring non-numerical fields, then add coverage for representative structs and run the relevant constructor tests.
