Research direction

Start by reading issue #425 and the linked comment, then review the proposed approaches for mutable access to shape, strides, and the owned Vec. The work is complete when the API and its safety checks have been agreed on and documented well enough to implement.

Description

enhancement

It would useful in some cases to have more direct mutable access to the shape, strides, and data representation. This could be resolved with setters that perform safety checks instead of just providing &mut references to the fields themselves. See #425, in particular this comment for some ideas. This does warrant some more discussion, so I'm creating this issue.
