Research direction

Start at the private ArrayBase::split_at implementation and compare it with the public ArrayView::split_at API. Determine whether exposing ArrayBase::split_at or adding Array::split_at best supports splitting an owned array, then verify that the chosen public API supports the factory-function use case described in the issue.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently ArrayBase::split_at is private, and only ArrayView::split_at is public. However there are situations where you might want to split an owned array. For example in a factory function that generates an Array, you want to move the array into the calling frame, but you also want to split the array into pieces. This is currently not possible.

Can we make ArrayBase::split_at public, or else implement Array::split_at?
