Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing ArrayBase and array-type APIs, then compare them with the proposed NdArray bounds and conditional capabilities for axes, views, and elements. The issue provides no file or test entry point; completion would require an agreed trait design and corresponding implementation scope.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

We need to traitify the array types, so that we shift from using ArrayBase for generic programming to something more flexible.

Imagine a sketch:

pub fn std_axis<T>(array: T) -> Array<T::Elem, T::Dim::Smaller>
    where T: NdArray,
          T::Elem: Num,
{
     // implementation here.
}

Foreseen problems: How do we conditionalize methods?

  • Can mutate the axes or view
  • Can mutate elements
  • etc
