Description
Now that https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/43334 is merged, and available on Compat.jl, this package needs to decide what to do.
- Perhaps the lazy struct is still useful for some purposes. If the next step is broadcasting, then this can be fast.
- The eager code should just be deleted, and call Base. This was supposed to be called automatically on e.g. a stack of CuArrays, but I'm not sure that works right now.
- The name
stackshould not be exported. Should it beLazyStack.stack, or exportlazystack?
Edit: Mostly done in https://github.com/mcabbott/LazyStack.jl/pull/14 now. The remaining piece is:
- Base supports
dimswhich the lazy struct does not. Perhaps it should learn, in order to have exactly the same rules?

Research direction
Start by reading Julia's Base.stack behavior and the LazyStack lazy struct, including the changes described as mostly complete in pull request 14. Determine how the lazy struct should support the Base dims argument; done means its dimension rules match Base.stack.
