Description

Has assuring type information to getdata any drawbacks?
The following ::A avoids type instability at some of my code using ComponentVectors:

@inline CA.getdata(x::ComponentArray{T,N,A}) where {T,N,A} = getfield(x, :data)::A
@inline CA.getdata(x::ComponentVector{T,A}) where {T,A} = getfield(x, :data)::A

Research direction

Start by locating the CA.getdata methods for ComponentArray and ComponentVector, then compare their type stability with and without the ::A assertions. Check whether the proposed signatures introduce drawbacks; done means the impact is established and the intended change or decision is clearly recorded.
